And now maybe Frank is so badly injured in this "clash" that he might withdraw from the giro according to Kim Andersen:

Ah yes, he can ride today, loose a lot of time, blame inury, retire from the giro. Then regain strength in time to join andy for the tour. Becca and The Hog can't do a thing cos Frank says its Alex and injurys fault ;)

It's getting a bit sad isnt it?

Not nearly as sad as the day they went fishing and got bitten by a poisonous fish... In Luxembourg.

Well, he changed his mind, at least for today. Let's wait for tomorrow.

... yep. Acting, the guy can hardly sit properly on the bike yet its acting, delusional blind hating. The guy rode the stage fine, had trouble on the first climb and that means hes acting.. Seriously this forum.. :confused: :confused:

Come on do you seriously believe a rider can have huge problems on the first climb, but can ride with the best on the last climb? I don't.

It's a true story. At least they told us so...

Yeah I remember that, I don't know if it was really poisonous or what the problem was but one of them indeed got bit, I forgot which one though. It's not all that random though seeing that they are fishing enthusiasts and they own a private pond. You can see it here:

In the documentary "The road uphill" you can also see them and Jens Voigt discussing fishing techniques with a random French guy on the rest day of the Tour

He didnt have any problems, he just went back to the car or something, once he was back in the bunch he pedalled quickly to the front.

Okay. I wasn't watching at that moment but I saw a lot of mentions of him dropping, or "having a hard time", everywhere. So I thought that was the case.

You're right, Frank claims he got dropped but was able to make it back before the top of the first climb:

I believe he is in pain, but I'm having a hard time believing he wasn't able to follow the peloton on the Col de Joux. He pedaled swiftly to the front, seemingly without effort, as Sophistic points out, while his teammate who was supposed to help him was struggling. :eek:

Blind hating???
Boy, Andy is my favourite rider....and i would like to see Fränk winning there.

Again, no way Fränk got into real difficulties on the first climb with 60 others still in the peloton, and then finishing the day in the group of the favourites.
He recovered from nothing during that hour of racing.


Seriously, some users....

Contador rode an impossibly hard Giro then suffered 37 crashes in the first week of the Tour and didn't complain once.

He just rides.

These guys are girls. Seriously half the peloton will be riding with ailments and injuries. That's Grand Tour riding.

I can never understand why the both of them are so quick to tell everyone why they didn't/can't perform.
