Whenever I see Contador dropping to the back of the train, I expect Popo to attack.

Columbia's paying for the last couple of days.

Does anyone know if RAB and SIL actually rode the course in preparation (not yesterday or today only, but weeks, months in advance). It seems that especially RAB with all the money they have, make really poor decisions in prep to a tour. Anyone remember the descent Menchov did not recon...

VdV could throw a punch today as well. If he can keep it up in the mountains...

Rast..........

LOL, he's thinking he can turn the tables and pull a Popoffthebackovitch against Alberto.

I doubt rabobank did, even after the menchov incident, they didn't look good today. Disapointing. Ahwell, on the bright side I'm pretty sure Rabo wont make gesink work for menchov in the mountains. Hopefully he can salvage something for them

[patswana]

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

lol Astana on fire.
2nd check; 23 seconds ahead of garmin

Garmin beat Liquigas by 40 seconds. VdV gets around 2mins on menchov and evans

 

[jaylew]

Astana destroying it and they should only make up more time with 7 riders.

 

[Cobblestones]

Garmin beats Leakyboys by 40"

 

[Anonymous]

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..

 

[Bala Verde]

You can see who is not on the Bruyneel program

ah well, Bruyneel's tactics are as always, take time when you can, demoralize early on if possible. THe tour is over guys....

 

[sportzchick]

Garmin finish the TTT in no.1

Astana look like blizing the field

 

[Ibanez]
