Official Thread: Stage 20: Montélimar - Mt. Ventoux 167km

This wind does not make F. Schleck's chances look very good. Hopefully there are enough spectators up high to shield the riders from some of the wind.

Cav is in the split. Another reach around for a friend of Lance?

They just showed Armstrong's interview AGAIN. That guy really is a prick.

Why won't the MJ race to support his domestique's podium position????? These are penetrating questions that will only be asked if Lance Armstrong is not in yellow.

He sounded really pissed off that the tactics for the day were not to shelter him to the top.....

Yea, Armstrong was always so willing to ride for others when he was wearing yellow...

Anyone got a link to said interview?


Peloton's split - anyone interesting left behind?

Ugh, I hope Universal Sports is picking up cycling and I hope they leave P&P in the ditch.

Agreed. But it is as far as US TV is concerned. So sad. GO UNIVERSAL (even though Comcrap doesn't carry it where I live.)

Yeah.... but their online feed is pretty good. The giro coverage was great!

 

[RigelKent]

Hey! They're racing!

No idea, but my first guess would be Menchov.

Has anyone spotted Le MEvel in the MJ group? Can only see that Evans and Menchov have missed out and they were way behind anyway ...

 

[Cobber]

How many km's from the top until Lance cracks? I'm thinking 12.

Go Andy!

Universal Sports supposedly will have the Vuelta. That will be sweet.

Hey, they just announced they are covering the Tour of Ireland...I wonder why they would do that? Are they even covering the Vuelta?

 

[RhodriM]

No idea, but my first guess would be Menchov.

No no no, he's going to put an hour into everyone today and my bet will be safe.

 

[Buninyong Bunny]

Sastre has been left behind as well - and I believe Le Mevel is in the second group as well.

Shame, would have liked him to have a last ditch attack for a stage win.

Wonderful news.

 

[Amsterhammer]

Evans, Menchov and Sastre dropped.
