So what happens if Contador wins by 39 seconds or less?

[wayfool]

Will this be the most controversial win ever?

No.

Stupid question.

 

[Steel4Ever]

No.

The 1999-2006 Tour "wins" are much more controversial.

It would be controversial but not the most. If that's the case then I feel soooo sorry for Andy.

By that standard, every Tour in the last 20 years has been suspect. Even before really.

it'll be plenty controversial, but i don't think anything can top the year indurain turned into a velocoraptor on alpe d'huez.

i wonder what bjarne would say to his team if bertie had a mechanical on the final day as the peloton was winding up?

 

[ilillillli]

Does the 39 seconds include his 7 second lead? I forget.

But anyway, AS could do it if he gets FC to wear a face mask pretending to be him.

i find that looking things up is often a great way to know the answers to them: http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/97th-tour-de-france-gt/stage-15/results

If Contador wins by 39 seconds or less he will be winning his third TdF and his fifth Grand Tour. punto.

he'll tell them to grab sastre and drill it!

I'd show up at the beginning of the stage with guys in skinsuits and tt bikes. Now THAT would be awesome to see them put 5 minutes into the pelo.

 

[cyclestationgiuseppe]

since this is about what if's...

what if Andy had Frank the last 4 days? TDF 2011 on sale now!

Even more awesome that watching the other 160+ riders catch and drop them after 60k?

 

[Hillavoider]

pfffff.... what if no one waited for frank and andy into spa?

what if contador hadn't stared at andy's *** and actually tore his legs off. (so much luv between them)

what if contatdor had waited for andy and menchov and snachez were now 1 and 2.

what if no one cared

No.

jeez...you should probably read this statement on the front page of the forums:

"The Clinic is the only place on Cyclingnews where you can discuss doping-related issues. Ask questions, discuss positives or improvements to procedures"

Currently, this is the "Professional Road Racing Forum"

Quit being a dumb jack *** and keep the dumb **** out of a legitamate thread.

There were many what ifs in this tour. cadel broke his elbow, armstrong fell, chaingate,menchov DIDNT fall! Too many others to write about. I think the tour to this point was great to watch, with much more attacking this year (thanks vino and cunego!) than last year. I think the tour is boring as heck when everyone knows the winner is decided on one stage. Much more dramatic with attacks on almost all mountain stages. It was great. Can't wait to see the Menchov/ Sanchez battle over the TT. I'm pretty sure Menchov will win, but he's yet to fall off so ya never know...

Controversial was when Rasmussen got booted right when he was going to get the win. If he wins by 39 seconds I think he will win with a big question mark.

... ummm, he wins?

 

[Polish]

If Alberto wins by a slim margin he can then justify ruining Vino's stage win and can justify attacking Andy when his chain dropped.

If Alberto wins by a large margin, it means he did not need to ruin Vino's stage win and did not need to attack Andy when his chain dropped.

I believe Alberto will win by a large margin, and with 20/20 hindsight Alberto will wish he did not chase Vino down or attack Andy like he did.

What's the question?

I won't lie. It's fun to watch the fanboys run around in circles complaining about a little Spanish guy who kicked their hero all over the roads of France.
