[Rechtschreibfehler]

Dudes, the haven't even reached the climb yet. It's going to get good.

It's going to be much better than the ridiculous sunday stage...

After this stage, there'll be no action on GC until last TT and Ventoux, surely St. 15 isn't a big enough finish to split it up...boring tour, BRING IN THE GIRO ORGANISERS!!!

I think there will be a bit of action....there are a few riders who do not want to be stuck 2 or so minutes behind for the next how many ever stages...

Yup, it is a crap course. Bring in the Grio organizers..and move the race to Italy. The Tour de France d'Italia.

It may not be steep enough to get good. We can hope, but they could ride a hard tempo almost the entire way up.

Yes, that is possible. In that instance, I would figure Spartacus has a shot at keeping yellow.

How many spectators get beaned every year by thrown bottles?

 

[Bala Verde]

What is it normally? 1m per 1k? against not so good climbers when the big guns start stepping it up?

 

[Angliru]

It seems to annoy **** out of everyone else on here, so I am thinking it works!

I like your sense of humor!

More than we think, I haven't seen one, but I imagine it happens lol

Glad someone got it...lol

That ramp looked pretty steep. Just before the 25K line i think

This is why big time bike racing will never work in the U.S. People will sue every time they get brained by a thrown, half full bidon.

 

[Angliru]

and what does that make the sprinters who use the wheel of a team mate

the hatred for cadel knows no bounds

Well there is a difference when that teammate is riding for the purpose of delivering you to the line while your opponent may be riding on the front, benefiting you both but maybe, just maybe hoping you'll take a turn up there before you charge by him for the win. This isn't specifically directed at Cadel, more at your chosen defense of the tactic.

I's send a teammate up the road there if I were a GC contender. Someone like Frank Schleck.

****, we are going to miss something while Ventura explains something that is obvious to everyone with half a brain....man they suck!

I wish they would save this crap for the expanded coverage so I don't have to watch it.
