If Frank TTs with anyone, there's something seriously off

 

[clydesdale]

I gotta say this, if Frank and Andy TT with Armstrong, there is something REALLY, REALLY wrong...

Yep...as a fan of the Schleck boys, if they are up there with the leaders today, I may just burst into tears (not in a good way).

Level on GC so Armstrong has gained 30 secs on him.

Nibali is tired...

Andy 17" off Armstrong at the first check. Sounds like the second check is where things start to flesh out a bit.

 

[issoisso]

Klöden's doing very badly

 

[clydesdale]

Andy '26 back. I can deal with that. If he hits a top ten, that's astonishing.

 

[Wergeland]

Andy is riding great! Same time as teammate Gustav Larson for instance at 18km

 

[RdBiker]

A.Schleck 26 secs down on Wiggins at first time check Looks very good for him.

Lance looked a little rough there.

 

[LinkAge]

andy is only 26 sec off after 18 km ( which is flat )

doesn't sound right...

Contador is BLITZING this thing.

 

[Publicus]

Contador is FLYING.

 

[RdBiker]

Whoa! Contador 20.02!

 

[TrudyTas]

Has Contador gone out too fast? Wiggins too for that matter???

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Contador is just destroying the first time...
18 seconds faster.

He eighter is mad and will explode or he's going flyyyyy.

 

[clydesdale]

Holy $hit, Alberto. Ladies and gentleman, we have your winner (overall). It was pretty much decided already, but good lord.

Time will tell, literally.

 

[Amsterhammer]

Whoa! Contador 20.02!

Incredible time.

Can he and Wiggins keep this pace up? Hard to believe.

 

[RdBiker]

Holy $hit, Alberto. Ladies and gentleman, we have your winner (overall). It was pretty much decided already, but good lord.

The winner was decided the minute UCI announced that Astana was allowed to race in the Tour

 

[Mellow Velo]

Kloden and Armstrong now going backwards. Berto becomes Cancellara!

 

[Publicus]

Has Contador gone out too fast? Wiggins too for that matter???

I hope not.

 

[Wergeland]

Is Armstrong the first one not to jump the curb at the start of the hill?

 

[RdBiker]

Klöden 15 secs down on Wiggins at 28.5K
