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

Conta didn't gift it. respect loss.

What do you mean? Contador was talking to his team with 350m to go,. You're not doing that if you are contestig the sprint. It was clear what was going on from about 10km out.

I think we can now say that Wiggins will lost big chunks of time on Ventoux.

can we....

comparing the long slopes of ventoux with no climbs before, with today where they have gone over 5 climbs, well, its no comparison...

complately different types of stage... im surprised, i thought you where a bit more objective..

 

[El Imbatido]

La looks huge behind Nibali. Looked like he was a giant

 

[Wheels Go Round and Round]

Great move Conti!!





NOT!!

exactly... Contador has A LOT TO LEARN

good grief what a rookie move... dump your team mate who is trying to get the podium

 

[53x11 in DC]

LA now 30 secs off the podium behind FSchleck.

 

[Ibanez]

Interviews!!

Wiggins could have crashed and were none the wiser.

The Shreks are going to pay for this tomorrow.

The Shreks are going to pay for this tomorrow.

They'll lose everything they gained today and then some... poor *******s

 

[mambo#5]

And Kloden was simply blown.

Thanks to his team leader.

 

[Ziptie]

Wrong. There is a little thing called the Mt. Ventoux on the horizon.

True, but Lance definitely wants to have a buffer for tomorrow IMO.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

What was wiggins time over the line?

 

[TRDean]

What a bad actor AC just showed himself to be. Guarantee you JB told him to dispute the sprint, and that little bike throw was supposed to convince us?!?!

who are you? you in the car? JB could care less...it would be terrible form for Contador to win the stage after sitting on...give me a break...

What was wiggins time over the line?

He was 3.09 back.

 

[Ziptie]

Thanks to his team leader.

Klodi got screwed.

 

[scribe]

Thanks to his team leader.

With a leader like that.................................................

 

[sometriguy]

I'm starting to think that Andreas told Alberto that he was going to blow and Contador figured he might as well go for glory

 

[The Barb]

I hate to say it, but Lance looks like he will be as fresh as anyone tomorrow.

 

[BroDeal]

Thanks to his team leader.

No, he was close to blowing anyway. Maybe that is what he and Contador talked about: That Kloden was nearing his limit.

 

[scribe]

It's official. I am firmly rooting against Contadick for the rest of his career

3.08 Wiggins... And they FINALLY used the french panels to show the times! They can do it...VS!!!

They were always going to lose heaps of time - they had to do this. Frank will lose more than Andy, though.

brads in at 3.09

so by my reconning

contador
andy +2.25 (-2.20)
frank +3.25 (-1 min 30)
lance +3.55 (-1 minute)
kloden +4.45 (-10seconds)
brad +4.55

brackets versus brad.. i think he can do lance, frank and kloden and take 3rd back tommoro

 

[Ziptie]

who are you? you in the car? JB could care less...it would be terrible form for Contador to win the stage after sitting on...give me a break...

It would have show no class at all. Especially after dropping Kloden with a pointless attack.

 

[mambo#5]

I don't care if you're a hater, but you must take your hat off to the old man. Vive la Lance!!!

 

[Publicus]

Thanks to his team leader.

My guess is that Contador was talking to him about having a go earlier on the slopes. He went and shut it down when he noticed Kloden couldn't follow. That's why he kept looking back. At least that's what it looked like to me.
