Official Thread: Stage 17 Bourg-Saint-Maurice to Le Grand-Bornand

[frizzlefry]

Looks to me like Bruyneel's trying to make it AC, AK, and LA on the podium.

Of course he is. But why bother when you have all these DS's here on this forum. He should just let them call the race for him.

 

[Parrot23]

Ha, Sherwen said Kloeden shouldn't ride Frank's wheel on descent.

 

[Ziptie]

Thanks Lance for helping Wiggins..what a teammate

and Klodi, better hammer the descent for Contador cause you havent done anything!!

What a great team Contador has

How is he helping Wiggins by attacking him? As soon as he saw that he couldn't shake him he let Wiggo do the work again. That's racing.

 

[Alpe d'Huez]

Why is Johan in the team car with Lance instead of AC and Klodi?

 

[Carl0880]

If the Schlecks were smart that would be trying to get Contador to take pulls to put time into Wiggins, which they BOTH want to do. Of course Contador is probably content with the 1 minute + he's picked up so far, so I doubt he'd be interested.

Contador looks like he could attack at anytime he wants. Both him and Kloden are pulling the if you want more time on Wiggo, you got to do it yourself. Also they could say they are waiting for Lance to comeback.

 

[Bala Verde]

ah yes, glad to see the "commercial free chryser half hour"!!

 

[Wergeland]

Look at Nibali! He'll get a good gap to VDV and Armstrong before they start ascending again.

 

[sometriguy]

Klodi is p!ssed because he knows that he is the second strongest man in the race.

He will probably stick with Astana and Vino. Kessler will be coming there also.

Ha, Kessler, All I can think about when I hear his name is him ramming into that barrier and flipping over... OUCH

 

[Parrot23]

Astana 1,2,3 reminds me of Mapei. Not good for cycling.

 

[lostintime]

How many ways can BroDeal take a jab at Armstrong?

So you resent him.


You are blind to the fact that your words do no harm to anyone but yourself.

 

[BroDeal]

Contador should bury everyone on the last climb. There is no reason to leave the door open for anyone else.

 

[El Imbatido]

Nibali has dropped wiggins, Vdv and lance

 

[Publicus]

Why is Johan in the team car with Lance instead of AC and Klodi?

My guess is he can't get ahead to the main group.

 

[Ibanez]

Getting dropped on a descent...sounds inattentive to me.

 

[BroDeal]

How many ways can BroDeal take a jab at Armstrong?

So you resent him.

I resent frauds who take advantage of cancer sufferers.

It seems you are still high from sniffing Armstrong chamois. Don't take things about someone you don't know personally.

 

[Ibanez]

Also, I hope Klodi is allowed to go for the stage.

 

[frizzlefry]

My guess is he can't get ahead to the main group.

Nope, has to be another LA conspiracy.

 

[Bala Verde]

Well Nibali showed his intentions when he sprinted to the top. He created a small gap and when you are a descender, that's enough to drop the rest...

 

[RdBiker]

Getting dropped on a descent...sounds inattentive to me.

Sounds like one of the best descenders in the peloton...

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Also, I hope Klodi is allowed to go for the stage.

Indeed.
Also, he should really be the best decender of the group.
Also the best sprinter actually I think.

 

[Ziptie]

Now you're just an idiot.

 

[mambo#5]

my hat is off to the Schlecks. They're good, just not Contador good.

 

[RdBiker]

Indeed.
Also, he should really be the best decender of the group.
Also the best sprinter actually I think.

Maybe Klodi should attack 200m before the top and drop the others on the descent. Might guarantee a podium-spot for himself.

 

[BroDeal]

Who is the best sprinter of the four?

 

[Publicus]

I wonder if Contador counter-attacks?
