cn ticker said:French cycling legend Bernard Hinault had some interesting comments on yesterday's happenings, saying he thought Caisse d'Epargne left their move a little late. Had they gone earlier, they might have had a break of three or four minutes, enough to really make a difference in the GC.
He also pointed out that Contador showed that he has a problem with the wind. “It’s probably his only weak spot. In this respect, his team must learn to protect him because we could find ourselves in the same situation on the Tour, especially in Holland where it could be even more windy. In the first three days, there could be splits any time.”
Timmy-loves-Rabo said:I think Hinault has something there, Conta does see to dislike the wind.

thats right. the best astana 'engine' in PN atm is grivko. id ask hard questions where he has been ?Publicus said:He really went out on a limb there. Seems to me Noval, Gurov and others dropped the ball. Most 136 pounders aren't going to do well in the wind. It's up to the engines to provide a wind break for him to ride in. They did pretty well up to a point, then they lost focus and well we all know what happened next.

Ferminal said:Yes, anyone know the reason behind the shocking pictures?
After watching most sport in HD, this looks terrible.
