[Cobblestones]

Porte is one decent team performance away from pink

Not happening.

You also stated that Lotto sabotaged Evans' (and their own) chances when he rode for that.

no i didnt - i said their incompetence cost him

To sabbotage something well you have to competent in the first place

So Rabo are a bunch of nobodies is that right Timmy and Dek_Tif. U had given up on them at half way now somehow they blitz it in the second half.... conditions the same???

Prolly not or Rabo would have been way further behind.
But they start in order of Team classification so you can make sure you start in the same conditions as the favorites by performing in the first few stages.

 

[issoisso]

well if your so smart then what is the point

Again, when did I say "I'm so smart"?

Are you twelve? Serious question.

As for the point, refer to ak-zaaf's latest post, among others

Milram look like they've been on the ****!

 

[Andre.J]

This rsult will help Sastre a lot

 

[trompe le monde]

Milram finish 44 seconds down. Good ride for Milram.

this conditions issue is bs. If BMC were good enough they would have been starting later.

Teams who took initiative and worked there asses off on the last 2 days got rewarded.

It appears to me that BMC's performance in the last stage is hurting Cadel more today then their performance today.

Apparently conditions improved... everyone is flying in the second half now. It seems probable that had BMC started later in the day, they'd have been a bit closer to the leaders.

Still hilights the weakness of the team... just not in terms of how they rode the bikes this morning.

**** off trdean, he is making the point that everyone is now dissing bmc's peformance but the conditions and wind has changed.

Rabobank ahead BMC

Im laughing so hard right now I think I am going to die

It is clearly a lot drier now then it was to begin with, past the 1st 5km there is no rain by the end the road is bone dry. This was not the case for the 1st few teams out

 

[trompe le monde]

Liguigas still have all 9.

 

[powderpuff]

Suck it up powder!! Its racing!! Too bad for the early starters...sucks to be them...JEEZ

They were having a go at ACF about him expecting the Rabo newfies to do a good ride now they do a good ride and they say I told you so. I know its racing BMC did a good ride no-one was expecting them to be within 1.10 of Sky, so I put that down as a win.

 

[theyoungest]

Hey! Shut up with the Aussie-Dutch BS.

The bad circumstances in the first half are certainly affecting the results. Most of the teams riding now are quite slow in the first half.

 

[Francois the Postman]

Poetic justice being served cold today.

You **** off ***!! BMC sucks my ***!!

Doesn't seem to be doing them any good, though

 

[Jamsque]

Astana is keeping pace with Liquigas and Columbia to the time check, but all the gaps seem to be being made in the second half of the course.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Everybody is going slower than Katusha etc in the first part though.

So you can't say if BMC had a disadvantage here. I think this is 'koffiedik kijken' as we say in Dutch. Like looking into a crystal ball

 

[issoisso]

Astana to the intermediate. Why do I feel they're going to blitz it?

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Advantage Basso

 

[kjetilraknerud]

Nibali in pink at the moment.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Leaky Gas is going fast

Nibali in pink

 

[trompe le monde]

Wow, Leakygas beats Sky.
