How the hell would I have a problem with Cancellara? He didn't win any classics and stage races this year and there aren't any classics or big stage races left he can win. So yeah, my post is very much valid.
.

He can go and win ENECO tour

 

[TeoSheva]

more than those ****ty classics and stage races plus the worlds? i tought it was enough... but you clearly hadve a problem with him because he is better than gilbert.

how you can compare Cancellara with Gilbert this year? you should have a problem with Gilbert, the best rider, by far, of the season in the single day race... even if he will not win anything more (but I doubt...)

today, Feillu ftw

today, Feillu ftw

Since Arvesen says he would like to try and go for a win on todays stage , I belive his words and think the old sheep will win this one.

That would be absolutely amazing, and nothing would please me more, but I highly doubt that will happen. He doesn't have much of a sprint anymore and I can't see a breakaway making it to the finish.

When did aero helmets become so huge? Especially Leopard-Trek's look like something out of a super mario game.

Frank Schleck's ears probably cause some serious wind resistance.

frankie seems to be quite successful on the teens demographic area sucks for him that he is already on his 30's

i remember a thread a couple weeks ago when some1 said that the schlecks had a bet about who could "seduce" the most podium girls. if that was true then i can see frank wining the beat against andy as he looks more charming. . . at least according to my sister

very homo-erotic post i know but you know what i mean xD

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

funny that video

Letzenburgisch sounds like Limburg dialect here

 

[Pharazon]

don't know what the hell went on today...

Stage 1: 1. Galimzyanov (KAT) 2. Henderson (SKY) 3. Appollonio (SKY) 4. Hayman (SKY) 5. Guarnieri (LIQ) 6. Hunt (SKY) 7. Delage (FDJ) 8. Van Staeyen (TSV) 9. Stallaert (LAN) 10. Docker (SKS)

considering SKY finished 2,3,4,6 maybe a crash in the final sprint

 

[Roude Leiw]

According to RTL there was a crash during the sprint, main victims the french (feillu, casper)

Haha, did they each just forget to peel off their leadout train?

I hope everyone is alright!!

Did Fränkie boy stay on his bike?

 

[Jamsque]

The Cossack strikes! Shame we didn't get to watch it. Do we assume he will be part of Katyusha's all-Russian Tour de France team?

Sky back to their old ways of being everyone else's leadout, I see!

Seriously though, the Cossack is looking like he could eventually be a 1st tier sprint fellow.
