April 29th, Tour de Romandie - Stage 3: Thierrens - Neuchatel, 165.7 km

[Jamsque]

No DQ for Vino, so he gets the precious bonus seconds. He is looking better and better for the overall.

 

[cineteq]

yeah it's probably JUST not enough to get Vino DQ-ed.

But it looked very dodgy to me. He felt Cherel coming and that little movement was just enough

It's clear that Cadel ordered Vino to do it

 

[auscyclefan94]

also i was kidding, as indicated by the ""

yeah, sure! Nice back pedalling. isn't a kidding smily

Interview w/Vino - in french on NOW

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

why would he get disqualifie,d he sprinted pretty much in a straight line. cherel shouldn't have jumped into a gap that wasn't there

are you kidding me. Vino definately made a move to the barriers when Cherel was coming. But just not enough to get a DQ i think now

 

[auscyclefan94]

No DQ for Vino, so he gets the precious bonus seconds. He is looking better and better for the overall.

And martin as well.

 

[palmerq]

i think after seeing the replay from the front vinokourovs wheel slips quite a bit, so I dont think he swerved into him on purpose there.. he was pretty close though

 

[hrotha]

Cherel had footballer syndrome. Complaining while the show is still on instead of focusing on the game and complaining later when the action stops. I still think he could have won if it weren't for his antics.

lol i knew people would freak out if i said that that's why i did it

what is a kidding smiley? (so i know for future reference?)

 

[roundabout]

Vinokourov is a legend, only he can turn an inability to ride a bike in a straight line into an advantage.

 

[Cobblestoned]

Vino destroyed a perfect German day.

Waiting for a clinic thread soon...

Tony handed Vino the overall win. Those 10seconds should seal the deal for him.

What about ?

If you can't get DQ for that, it would be stupid to DQ Vino for what he just did

 

[tinga1]

What was time gap please?

actually the vino/cherel sprint reminded me of the Gesink/Evans sprint in the Vuelta 2009

And also Dekker/Anton in Romandie 07

 

[Cobblestoned]

Tony handed Vino the overall win. Those 10seconds should seal the deal for him.

Vino closed the gap himself, with that sucking and moaning Cherel on his wheel.
So he earned it.
But I doubt that Vino would have won or attacked, if Tony didn't do that surprise attack.
So you are somehow right, but Vino earned it anyway after his bad luck in LBL.

 

[la.margna]

how come so early today? completely missed it... wanted just to slowly prepare and switch on the tv and the top ten are already in...

time for a ride!

At least Boring Evans won't win it now

 

[auscyclefan94]

Well, I guess it will all come down to the tt.

 

[roundabout]

It was always going to come down to the TT.

 

[Bavarianrider]

Well, I guess it will all come down to the tt.

Big Tony will smoke all those little girls.
Vino will take the overall.

Coming from the Tony Martin fan who picked Martin to top 10 in liege, I find this hilarious.

 

[Parrulo]
