Lance Armstrong?

 

[jaylew]

Guess it's going to be Armstrong in yellow.

 

[frizzlefry]

is it me or does AC not seem to be doing many turns on the front?

how the hell have astana made 23 seconds on garmin?

Think Menchov may as well pack up and go home... there are gonna be some big gaps after this..

AC didnt look good while ago.

Love him or hate him, whatever you say about lance, i think you could be watching yet another chapter in the cancer-seven tours-retirement-comeback fairytale...

There is just no keeping the guy out of the history books...

Might explain why contador is doing &*^% all work..

 

[Parrot23]

Bjaarne Riis must be laying a couple of ostrich eggs right now.

they split into two fours a while back on the hill, AC was up on his saddle and looked like he was uncomfortable..

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Stage 7 prediction.. Peleton VS Astana vs Astana 2

 

[Seth Bullock]

Lance Armstrong?

According to Paul, yes. 38secs up on Saxo.

 

[Jasper]

Vandevelde sneaks back into the top 10. Should be a boost for his morale, but let's wait and see how well he goes up Arcalis.

 

[Parrot23]

Alberto doesn't want Lance team leader.

Astana shouldn't take the yellow, I would think. Bruyneel didn't want it yesterday. But maybe his calculations have changed vis. the other teams results today??

 

[Cobblestones]

O'Grady dropped.

 

[jaylew]

Alberto doesn't want Lance team leader.

Astana shouldn't take the yellow, I would think. Bruyneel didn't want it yesterday. But maybe his calculations have changed vis. the other teams results today??

Gallopin flat-out said they didn't want yellow after today.

gonna be a few sad aussies as well.. silences time is looking worse and worse...

i think columbia have shown again today, exactly what their focus is for the tour... green...

46:28 needed for astana for yellow if my maths is correct..

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

CSC 2nd, 22 seconds back.
Andy shouldn't be too disapointed. Deponds on how much Astana destroy it i guess, will be the best of teh rest though. (Except maybe VdV?)

 

[Cobblestones]

Saxo between Garmin and Leaky. Good ride for the Schlecks.

 

[Publicus]

Armstrong is taking some monster pulls. He wants this.

 

[39*23t]

wonder what the badger is thinking at the mo

 

[Parrot23]

Sherwin says Lance is taking inordinate number of pulls (maybe means longer pulls?). Could be some insubordination here, if you could call it that. Lance aiming at Alberto.

 

[Cobblestones]

gonna be a few sad aussies as well.. silences time is looking worse and worse...

Right. Mechov and Evans the two biggest losers today. At least Menchov has the Giro. Evans won't even get 2nd this year.

 

[clydesdale]

If Schleck is even within shouting distance he really owes Canc. a big thanks. He did a ton of work.

 

[linenoiz]

Armstrong is digging. Contador is taking like 5 second pulls.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

LA in yellow by a second, clossssssseee

 

[linenoiz]

Contador takes a bottle. He is suffering.

 

[Cobblestones]

Astana 41 up on Saxo at the check.
