For a group of 19 riders, the front group aren't pulling away any - Rabobank must really be working! Or are there some 'hangers on' in the breakaway?

Amsterhammer said:What, so there's been no mod around all day to stick this?
Only saw the last 5 kms or so today - was really hoping for Freire till he lost his position in the last km - Cav's sprint was made to look even more impressive by the nature and manner of his post-race comments.
Mellow Velo said:Why did Armstrong attack Contador, right at the end?
He should be helping his team mates, not dropping them.
Trying to steal time to protect his position and leaving them behind, is just a stupid mistake.
See? Doesn't quite ring true, now, does it?![]()
TRDean said:Hammer...what exactly did he say?
Amsterhammer said:He said that this was the most important and meaningful win of his career, that he had never gone so deep before, that he would never have made it over the last climb without so many of his team helping him, that his train was utterly unbelievable, in particular Tony Martin, that he went sooner than he wanted to before someone got the jump on him and that he couldn't believe that he'd made it. He also said that he would have fancied this stage had it come in the first week, but that he didn't consider it at all due to how he was feeling at the start of the day....and that they probably wouldn't have made it without the 'help' of the Rabos.
He was visibly emotional.
MKirilenko said:haha good point. Not a very good move. Selfish, indicates lacks of maturity. Did he discuss it with JB? We will now when Kloden and AC has 4 seconds to their opponents @ GC, whos fault is that![]()
