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

[frizzlefry]

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.

I understand you resent LA. I think everybody does. I would think it would bore you after a while. Whats the point of trying to prove it 24/7. Everybody's got your point.

 

[BroDeal]

Now you're just an idiot.

Just the truth, baby.

 

[sometriguy]

Who is the best sprinter of the four?

My guess would be Kloden...

 

[RdBiker]

Who is the best sprinter of the four?

Contador I think. Andy after him.

 

[Ibanez]

Kloden got beat by Weening. They are all equally poor

 

[Publicus]

VdV is burying himself for Wiggins.

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

i think kloden will take lances 2nd to paris now

at the moment, amazing job by wiggins... definately looks now like he is riding himself onto the podium...

he will take 10 seconds out of lance tommoro
and he will take plenty of time back against the schlecks...

 

[El Imbatido]

Phil is saying that lance is under no pressure whatsoever, and a bit of a smile on his face. IMO i think LA is under a bit of pressure

 

[Ibanez]

VdV is burying himself for Wiggins.

Yeah its a great ride, but I can't help but think that Wiggins might lose less time by chasing himself.

 

[BroDeal]

Kloden got beat by Weening. They are all equally poor

I think that might be the answer.

Contador and Klodi look the freshest. Maybe Contador allows Klodi to win as a reward for his support.

 

[Antianti]

The younger schleck is said to be good on the descents, he could attack there if they stay together - they gained to the garmin group on the small descent.

 

[Ibanez]

POP! goes VdV

 

[luckyboy]

he will take 10 seconds out of lance tommoro
and he will take plenty of time back against the schlecks...

He took 21 secs out of him in Monaco

[and 41 secs from Andy]

 

[Ibanez]

I would like to think dim meant enough time to pass him in GC.

 

[Parrot23]

Is Schleck now a net 45 secs ahead of Wiggo overall (now on the road cumulative time)?

How much time does he need for TT today, assuming he beat him on Ventoux too?

 

[BroDeal]

Does anyone know what the last few hundred meters is like? The CN map looks like it kicks up a little after the descent. That would favor Contador.

 

[mambo#5]

I want to see Lance attack!!!

 

[Publicus]

Contador looks cool as a fan

And he goes! Maybe he was trying to snap Andy's legs.

 

[Ibanez]

Good point from Phil there, I wonder if anybdy DID put money on a Wiggins podium. Nah.

and that wasnt a true TT course and was only short...

think brad is doing a perfect job today, made it over 4, pacing himself to be in contention post TT..

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

bye bye conta

 

[sometriguy]

Contador!!!!

 

[BroDeal]

Yeah! Contador attempts to slam the door shut.

 

[luckyboy]

Kloden off the back

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

maybe not, they just lost kloden. Andy should go now!
