[T-Nielsen]

Why did Andy not have an extra TT bike. Not good enough.

 

[maltiv]

Andy Schleck beats Cavendish by 1 second on the climb!

 

[killswitch]

Did he start on a road bike?

No, on a TT, but changed to a road bike.

 

[dlwssonic]

so how long did the mechanical take away from andys time.

 

[Michielveedeebee]

Andy is such an idiot, how can he still make a stupid mistake with his shifting after last year...

 

[hfer07]

in the name of the lord!!! WTF is going on with Andy????

 

[jens_attacks]

grande bruseghin!!!

 

[jobiwan]

I personally hate Sky's TT helmets. They just look awful IMO.

 

[killswitch]

What's with Sky and those strange helmets?

Andy's got anger in his belly

 

[jens_attacks]

andy losing under two minutes.everything is fine.

 

[Jamsque]

What's with Sky and those strange helmets?

They come from short-distance track events, they are supposedly 'as good' as the tear-drop helmets when you have your head up and better when you have your head down.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

so how long did the mechanical take away from andys time.

it wasn't a mechnical, he just geared wrong. again... he rides like a f'n novice rider

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

I personally hate Sky's TT helmets. They just look awful IMO.

same as barloworld had, indeed bloody ugly

 

[dlwssonic]

wow andy look ****ed he spit at the end. Come on Andy you gotta do better than that.

 

[killswitch]

and better when you have your head down.

That makes sense, they're still ugly though.

 

[hatcher]

To reduce drag when wind isn't coming directly head-on, aren't they?

 

[dlwssonic]

it wasn't a mechnical, he just geared wrong. again... he rides like a f'n novice rider

I will really be mad if he makes the same mistake in the tdf.

 

[jobiwan]

I will really be mad if he makes the same mistake in the tdf...again

I'll be upset too...again

 

[dlwssonic]

Go frank do it for BMC!!!

 

[Jamsque]

I want to see CVV back in 2008 form at least once before he retires.

 

[dlwssonic]

Here comes spartacus, he will unleash all hell on this course.

 

[El Pistolero]

Andy is such an idiot, how can he still make a stupid mistake with his shifting after last year...

He does have a talent for losing a lot of time in prologues though.

Really hope he doesn't win le Tour.

So that contador can win??

 

[Ferminal]

How did Stybar end up doing? He wasn't too far back at the top of the climb so could have come home for a top10.
