Criterium International - St 1: Porto Vecchio Col de lÂ’Ospedale, 176km

[bicing]

yeah im curious too, surely ac didn't lose almost 5 mins. Cav could get to the finish after being dropped at 2km quicker.

pharmstrong came in with 4 retirement shack buddies and thats what it looked like on the clock..........!

 

[pfinn10]

AC only lost 1'04 or something around that.

Can Fedrigo TT ?

 

[issoisso]

The BBox rider who won had an unfair advantage-his aerodynamic nose.

The UCI should look into it immediately.

Thank god Pierrick's not a football player, he'd always be offside.

AC only lost 1'04 or something around that.

Can Fedrigo TT ?

No, he cannot. At all. It'll be between Machado, Sánchez, Evans, Rogers (lol?) and maybe Monfort.

[Bala Verde]

Didn't AC finish aprox 1:11 down?

 

[Frosty]

evans exerted himself a bit too much at 2km. SS rode a smart race. what is fedrigo's advantage?

Results are at

http://www.letour.fr/2010/CRI/LIVE/fr/100/classement/index.html

go to the classement l'etape though as the general classification isnt ready as i write this. Not sure what bonus seconds there are?

 

[reyan12]

i think Contador is looking for Amstrong thats why he slowed down.

 

[BroDeal]

yeah im curious too, surely ac didn't lose almost 5 mins. Cav could get to the finish after being dropped at 2km quicker.

also again SS didn't look great at the start of a climb but finished it well. seems like a trend for this guy.

Didn't Contador come in at about 1 minute down. And Armstrong at about 2 minutes.

thank you frosty....

 

[python]

i kinda thought that berto looked strained when vino went to the front.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

he came in with duque at 1.13"

 

[Ferminal]

So who wins?

Remember to add time bonuses for the first three.

Fedrigo was half a minute down on Boom at PN.

Sammy should get this.

 

[Frosty]

1:13 for Contador.

1:52 for Vino

2:27 for Lovkvist

4:51 for Armstrong

 

[auscyclefan94]

16:49 Le Top 3 de l’étape
1. Fédrigo (BTL)

2. Machado (RSH), à 10’’

3. Sanchez (EUS), à 12’’

 

[bicing]

Sanchez will win overall, Cadel 2nd... how about Rogers? Does he still rate in the TT?

 

[python]

armstrong 4:51 back

 

[BroDeal]

4:51 for Armstrong

Yowza! Armstrong must have dropped about a minute a kilometer.

 

[kurtinsc]

Didn't Contador come in at about 1 minute down. And Armstrong at about 2 minutes.

I don't know about Contador, but Lance was 4:51 down when his group crossed.

Contador definitely rode better then Lance, but Radioshack had a better day then Astana. 3 riders ahead of the first Astana finisher (Contdador).

 

[reyan12]

Just 1'13" Contador

 

[Ibanez]

4'51" for Lance. Not looking good. Always confuses me why so many of his team mates have to escort him over the line once he's dropped. He's a big boy now I dont think he needs anyone to hold his hand.

Happened at the Giro last year. Astana had something obscene like 6 in the front group but when Lance was dropped only Horner and Leipheimer stayed up. Strange.

 

[markene2]

Well, Vino will be strong at the TT and at the Giro!
Berto is human after all

 

[Highlander]

Vino could have finished it.He's very strong.IMO.

How did Vino finish overall? As long as he is still close, he has a good chance as his time trial was still fairly strong even last year after the suspension.

That can't be right. Machado won 4 seconds on Sánchez on the road, plus 2 more with bonuses. And Fédrigo won 15 on Sánchez, plus 6 bonus

 

[auscyclefan94]

He requires someone to fetch donuts if he feels the need.
