Well that sucked.

 

[The Barb]

Well I'll be damned ... It turns out Rabobank is at this Tour after all.

Wiggins guts it out. Good for him.

 

[Cobber]

It would have been interesting to see Andy go all out on that stage.

Don't really get why one of the guys didn't try to bridge up to the leaders to get the big win. Wind must have been brutal at the top.

Interesting to watch Andy, but ultimately this stage was a bust.

Andy and AC slug it out. It'd be interesting to see how AC would ride with Andy in the lead. Astana infighting aside, AC benefitted by a strong team and it could be a different thing next year.

This is critizism??? sour grapes my friend, sour grapes.

I think you are mistaking "sour grapes" for sarcasm.

Yea, the wind looked like it kept anyone from getting away.

Damn... Why did Drugárate have to win such a prestigious stage? It's a shame for the legend of the Ventoux.

Agreed.


Sad.

I agree.... or if Andy was closer. I think 4min was just too much for him to think he could make up.

No doubt. The race director should be shot. The weekend stages have been disappointing to boring.

 

[The Barb]

Agree with everyone saying what an awful stage.

The organisers got what they deserved. Please do not try to manufacture the Tour De France outcome to turn on one single stage.

A fitting end to the biggest letdown of three weeks of racing ever.

HaHa, so now its sarcasm?. Had LA cracked you and the others would have been circle jerking all the way up the climb.

Welcome to the next many tour's. Contdádor is a motorcycle and can sit with anyone, anywhere - if not beat them.

 

[RigelKent]

A sprint tomorrow and then the wait for delayed test results. How about a prediction pool on who the ultimate winner is going to be after the testing is finished.

I know, different forum . . .

I think the only two who possibly could were Andy and Bertie. Andy couldn't get away from Bertie so he decided a better use of his power might be to help his brother. Bertie simply rode defensively.

Just over a month to the Vuelta!

 

[BroDeal]

How many days to the Vuelta? That race should actually deliver.

What a compltetely crap Tour.

Maybe the whiners could have a Fantasy Tour where everything goes just perfect. Perhaps if Michael Jackson were still alive he could arrange it.

I've never seen a group whine so much.

No... I really hoped that LA would crack, but that particular post you quoted was sarcasm.

Gee, what do you want? These are human beings busting their balls.

If you want non stop guaranteed action, buy a video game.

can you imagine if LA took 1st place? These guys would commit suicide.
