Saturday, June 30 - Tour de France, Prologue: Liege - Liege, 6,4 km

Phil form seems much better.
He said tomorrow is a big target and will give it everything tomorrow.
BMC will probably work for him, a win is still possible for phil but he would have to beat sagan.

Seeing a line on the road at 125m to go, calling Gilbert second, then trying to cover his embarassing stupidity by claiming Gilbert slowed horribly at the finish.

Come on though, i mean there had only been about 100 riders already gone through, easy to not know where the finish is.

 

[Delicato]

Where is that troll mellow velo now eh??

lol BMC now with more riders in the top 10 than sky

sky will probably do better at the end.

No team time trial this year.

 

[One Eyed Aussie]

Fail by Porte ...down ten seconds

 

[Fetisoff]

Will Basso crack 9 minutes?

 

[dlwssonic]

let them - it is won in 3 weeks not 1 prolouge

Indeed...
But still its irritating whenever they put down a good performance by other riders but give excuses for sky riders like rogers doing not that well.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

I only just realized that, for the first time in years, I haven't read the start list of a GT before it starts. I don't have any decent clue any further than the leaders. Did I stop loving it or am I trying to make it more mystical for myself again?

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Porte slower than Cav to halfway.

TeamSky learning you can't trust Aussies to do a proper job.

 

[Marco Pantani]

Solid rides by Klöden, Voigt and Zubeldia.

Porte 10 seconds down at the split.

 

[El Pistolero]

they're trying to put him in yellow tomorrow

For that you need to be in actual shape though. Sagan will win the stage tomorrow easily.

 

[Gubby Allen]

Very good ride by Gilbert, have him ready to transfer in tomorrow for stages 1 & 3. Should've got him in from the start.

 

[dlwssonic]

It's not **** stirring. Simple defensive reaction against the inevitable BMCFAIL that is awaiting us

Like how they failed so miserably last year at the tour???

 

[happychappy]

Slightly higher cadence for Basso? Thought he normally uses a somewhat low cad. Perhaps just taking it easy.

 

[Trofinios]

Weak intermediate by Porte: 3.45, gap +10.

 

[Gubby Allen]

Kessiakoff & Larsson probably going to finish outside the top 50 here today.

 

[Gloin22]

Porte hasn't been great in TT's lately. In interviews he clearly said he sacraficed being better in mountains for TT speed.

Well, you turn up and I see other folks are already starting to complain.
Even El P reckons Phil Gil was motor paced.

Fine line between banter and argumentative bullsh*t and you usually end up on the wrong side.

 

[dlwssonic]

Not very good by porte too.

 

[Fetisoff]

Like how they failed so miserably last year at the tour???

Nope. Like they will fail this year.

 

[Gloin22]

Nope. Like they will fail this year.

How are you so sure ?

I see Menchov failing more than Evans for starters

 

[goggalor]

Nope. Like they will fail this year.

Porte +20s at the finish

Lol saying the BMC fail train at the starting ramp before Gilbert starts and he does well in the end. Yet you can't admit your mistake and start defending yourself. That's what I call BS.

 

[Frosty]

Basso 31st at half way, van de velde 52nd

 

[AussieEdge]

George!
