Are you saying I'm the donkey in the bottom right corner?

Dude, no need to be that offensive!

When Navarro broke away on the Col de la Madeleine with only Andy Schleck in tow I have no idea what he was trying to do. .

Such stupidity that was.

 

[The Hitch]

Such stupidity that was.

It was courageous. i liked it.

 

[The Hitch]

It also means that in the 2010 tour, Astana went to the front during some of the mountain stages and decimated the peloton, just because they felt like it.

Correction. cos vino wanted to

 

[Afrank]

Sammy Sanchez move up to 3rd in the 2010 Tour.

Andy Schleck, knowing that Denis Menchov was too close for comfort with the upcoming time trial, put in a courageous attack with 10km to go on the Tourmalet, gaining over a minute on everyone and nearly two minutes on the russian, thus assuring his tour de france victory.

 

[The Hitch]

No, I showed that justice is only done to some and not to others. Did you ever read Animal Farm? Well, let's just say Vino and Kolobkop are pigs

Just because they were born in the soviet union doesn't mean they are communists.

 

[El Pistolero]

Without Contador that Tour, I think Menchov would have won.

 

[El Pistolero]

Just because they were born in the soviet union doesn't mean they are communists.

"Everyone is equal, some just more than others". That's what I mean.

I wasn't talking about communism per se lol!

I'd say that better describes Schleck, and how he believes that he pretty much inherits the tour

 

[The Hitch]

Why they chased their own team leader into Mende I don't know, but Joaquím Rodríguez put in a herculean solo to overtake the Kazakh.

The Great Ones effect there was minimal. 200 m at 12%, he was going to win it anyway .

Very true, Montée Laurent Jalabert is very well suited to Purito.

In Paris-Nice Contador crushed him on the very same climb.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

In Paris-Nice Contador crushed him on the very same climb.

Very true. But he wasn't there at the Tour, so Rodríguez had it all his own way.

 

[El Pistolero]

They didn't use the entire climb in the Tour like they did in Paris-Nice which explains why Purito won it

I was thinking about it this morning, and I started imagining seeing all those races with Contador just being invisible. I had the funny image of Schleck breaking away on la Madeleine and Ax Trois Domaines, then just randomly practicing track stands in the middle of the mountain, just cause he felt like it. Also, instead of looking back at Contador all the time, he's now looking back at his shadow, or possibly for Frank.

Another good one is imagining Rujano worrying about whether someone is going to come past him on the Grossglockner, when there is noone there.

LoL!
Hmm... invissible riders. That would be interesting!

Well, that's ****. UCI sucks.
They basically made him waste a year of his career by not banning him immediately.

Yeah. I don't care if he was doped or not, but they didn't exactly show him a lot of respect, huh?

 

[williamp78]

Robert Gesink got 5th in his first Tour.


No he doesn't.

No he certainly does not. Not sure how i got the years mixed up

 

[craig1985]

So on stage 8 of the Giro, a rider counter attacked behind the stage winner Oscar Gatto, he's not a sprinter, I know that, who was the rider?

 

[Panda Claws]

Wouldn't Contadors ban put Andy Schleck into the polka dot jersey as well (for the 2011 Tour) ?

He only needed 10 more points...

The one who won KotM wears orange with a gold helmet.

I know Samuel Sanchez won it. That's not the point.

 

[roundabout]

I would have thought that a rider simply gets "deleted" from the classification and the points are not recounted.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Exactly, just as if he'd been thrown out mid-race like the Saunier Duval guys in 2008. They didn't recalculate all the points for Aspin or Hautacam, just removed the guys who didn't finish the race or whose results were declared void.

This is the influence the banning of Contador has on the 2010 & 2011 results.
