Beautiful climb. I'll add that to the list to ride some time.

A nice nine per cent grind!

 

[Publicus]

To be fair to Kloden, it doesn't look like anyone is really riding this hill that well. It looks like they are climbing through molasses.

 

[Moondance]

AAAAARRRGGHHH!!!!

I still can't get over the fact that my uncle had lunch with Joop Zoetemelk, and I'm sitting on my ass behind the TV... All those times my uncle and I went biking together, and talked about cycling, and instead he chooses the mother of his children to accompany him.

IAMSOMAD!!!!!

Ain't gonna be much fun for Andy if he still only has 41 secs come the ITT.. knowing that Contador has got you in his sights on the straights, and at some point may well pass you.

If Schleck has 41 secs on Contador, he would start AFTER Contador and have him in sight on the straights.

 

[The Hitch]

eurosport just said that some woman raced the giro once, and came half way down. WOW.

I assume you are not married.

35 deg C can't help...

Im pretty sure the only time Andy will have AC in his sights on the final TT will be in the start house.

 

[Roland Rat]

Schleck getting bottles? Confidence, good teamsmanship, arrogance or mind games?

 

[battery89]

What the hell was that from Armstrong?

Does he have some vendetta with Dimitri Champion? Has Champion spoken out against drug use in cycling or something?

That was odd.

What happened? Missed it.

 

[Moondance]

I assume you are not married.

Obviously not (I'm only 22 you know )

 

[Straßenrennen]

Obviously not (I'm only 22 you know )

Some people have all the luck. (young and unmarried)

IAMSOMAD!!!!!

IMO, a pretty fair ACF impression.

 

[Moondance]

IMO, a pretty fair ACF impression.

That's a low blow, man.... Very low

 

[Straßenrennen]

Anyone know how hot it is today on the course?

 

[Publicus]

Obviously not (I'm only 22 you know )

Didn't know your age (obviously). If you ever cross the marriage threshold, you'll understand.

 

[Moondance]

Anyone know how hot it is today on the course?

35C... But i imagine it feels hotter when hunched over the asphalt all day.

 

[Cobblestones]

Obviously not (I'm only 22 you know )

It's obvious. Your uncle didn't want to embarrass himself by taking a starstruck fanboy.

 

[The Hitch]

IMO, a pretty fair ACF impression.

hahahaha

 

[Spare Tyre]

Didn't know your age (obviously). If you ever cross the marriage threshold, you'll understand.

Is it something to do with signing the piece of paper? I have been in a defacto relationship for 15 years and I'm not sure what you're implying.

 

[TRDean]

Schleck getting bottles? Confidence, good teamsmanship, arrogance or mind games?

What? Come on now...it is obviously **** poor strategy by Riis!

 

[Straßenrennen]

Dont worry andi's got fabians bike from the spring

 

[alberto.legstrong]

You can be as overconfident as you like, I just hope AC doesn't share the sentiment. Confidence: good. Overconfidence: fatal.

 

[Jamsque]

We've seen before that wearing yellow makes you time trial like an absolute madman, so I don't think Contador taking 2+ minutes out of Schlecklet in the ITT is a done deal, but I think Andy needs at LEAST three/three and a half minutes advantage to have a good chance of defending.

 

[Straßenrennen]

hey, on german eurosport they are now talking about how much money teams have made so far in the TdF so far, and how much money people make for finishing in places in the KotM or Points compitition, anyone know were a regular idiot like me can find this info out? Am suprised that Milram have so far 15,000 euros earned... just one good placing from Ciolek and thats all that i can recall....
