sky forever said:I think critising stage 18 is stupid because we saw what Andy could do. I have been waiting for years for a GC guy to attack with 60km to go.
I don't rate it very high. Andy screwed the pooch in the Pyrenees. He faced a firestorm of derision after comments made to the press. He had to try something just to salvage a bit of honor. Meanwhile the rest of the top ten had decided that all they needed to do to place high in Paris was to follow Evans around. And Evans knew that with Contador injured, he just needed to keep a reasonable gap between himself and Andy and wait for the final ITT. So it just came down to Andy riding away from Evans then Evans pulling back time.
I knew Floyd Landis. Floyd Landis was a friend of mine. Andy is no Floyd Landis.
