Re:

Terrible by Kiserlovski and Trofimov

They riding as hard as possible. Sky just has too many riders still there.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Watching this it reminds me again why I hate Team Sky more than I hate death. What a bunch of utter phonies.

Because they are doing there job and bringing back the attack for there team leader? I don't like Sky but phonies seems like an odd choice of words

You didn't watch cycling before the USPostal-era, I suppose

 

[Gloin22]

I hope people that rinsed Sky few pages earlier about how senseless they are, repent now

 

[BigMac]

Guess the climbs weren't hard enough.

Shuss, common sense and cyclingnews dont go together.

Something you seem to verify on almost daily basis

Yeah I did, what's your point exactly?

 

[Carols]

Re: Re:

How great is it to see the Track specialist out of his comfort zone just for once??! Derail the train now!!

That's getting tired

How is stating a fact tiring?

When it's not such a clear fact. I post this yesterday but anyway: By the time he'd won his first Olympic gold medal in 2008 aged 21 or 22, he'd won junior Paris-Roubaix, junior Kuurne–Brussels–Kuurne, the Flèche du Sud (also won by such "track specialists" as Alex Zülle and Andy Schleck), podiumed the national road race (beating Steve Cummings among others) and ridden the Giro and the Tour.

But it doesn't subtract from the fact that he was pretty good at riding on the track.

But it most certainly does subtract from the "specialist" label/insult.

No it was 2 against 3 all the time. Losing a minute was pretty poor performance.

roche and swift will probabily disappear when the climb starts, so contador might steal have a chance

 

[HelloDolly]

Wahtever you think about Contador the truth is SKY have ALOT of very good riders ....its hard to beat a team wiht so much depth of strength

 

[TMP402]

This forum gets awfully salty.

Re: Re:

Oh Geraint, why on earth do you want to be a GC rider? Do you really like sitting behind your domestiques all day over the actual racing that you did in the classics?

Well he's won a good deal more stage races than classics...

He was favourite going into RVV last year. He wouldn't be favourite going into the TdF

Re:

We can hope, but it'll be almost impossible now. Yesterday he wasn't able to drop Henao (dragging up Thomas), so it'll be even harder today having spent alot of energy already.

Agreed, the only weird things about Sky are their leaders. They obviously have the best line up when it comes to domestiques.

 

[Andro]

Contador getting dropped by his own teammates lol.

Re:

crying into my beer as we speak

 

[vedrafjord]

Fair play to Contador for trying.

 

[Gigs_98]

Now exactly the same situation as yesterday

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Alright here comes plan B

 

[Bushman]

Contador doesnt give a sh*t. Love it.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

All bots but one spent: Henao
