Lol where have i displayed hatred?
I don't like they guy, but i haven't really posted anything negative about the guy. well not to a hatred extent

All i meant was he isn't the only cyclist who could achieve what he did.

 

[sportzchick]

I am posting your retort about me making him to be a super cyclist any more than many think hes anti-crist

If you guys think im going to go away and not stand up for Cadel well you need a reality check

 

[Bala Verde]

It seems like farar, haussler and rogers are down

 

[sportzchick]

Mick Rogers has had no luck in the tour

Nasty crash

Live Report

Susan,
The live report on CyclingNews now shows some power data of a handful of riders. This power data is completely meaningless without some associated duration. e.g. Anyone who rides a bike can produce 410W for a short duration, but over 5 minutes - not so many. So what does it mean to say a rider is at 410 Watts?

 

[Bala Verde]

Seems like another wasted attempt from Millar... Really, whenever that guy attacks, you know it is bound to fail. It's like me lining up to check out in a supermarket. I always manage to pick the queue that takes longest!

 

[Columbiafan]

Other Columbia rider who fell was Tony Martin, saw his white jersey

 

[sportzchick]

Has Rogers gotten back on the peleton after his crash

oh does anyone else think its a dumb idea not to have radios on the stage?

I know, but somehow I always feel sorry for him!

Johan Cruijff is telling Breukink how to manoeuvre his way into Barcelona, and where to park...

I like it; it adds a bit of unpredictability. Ultimately, I'd like to see them limit the use of radios, not ban them.

 

[frizzlefry]

Should be alot of crashes on the descent with wet roads.

 

[sportzchick]

for conditions like this and for the higher pyraneese stages its too dangerous

 

[Bala Verde]

Spartacus doesn't trust it, he's on the Boss' wheel...

hmm, I wonder where Katyusha and Rabobank are sitting now... Not many miles to go anymore.. Maybe Millar is lucky...

Did Menchov get dropped? hehe

well we can hope..

damn i can pause, rewind and record.. why cant i fast forward live tv.

 

[OKRider79]

Probably true. I just think some of these stages become way too formulaic with all of the technology. If they banned race (TV, etc) coverage in the cars and kept radios as a safety/strategy measure, that might be a good compromise.

Was it the Vueleta last year when he had a lead and there was an uphill finish similar to today's and his chain broke?

I seem to remember he threw his bike off of a cliff and ended up losing several minutes of time as the team cars were way back.
