Stage 18 - Friday, July 23 2010, Salies-de-Béarn - Bordeaux, 190 km

[Dekker_Tifosi]

That means we dont have to watch the stage until at least 17:00

suits me, then I can do some other stuff

 

[salixcycling]

From CN live "There's a tailwind today to keep the pace high all the way the Bordeaux" and the peloton is still as slow as the slowest expected time (from letour schedule)

 

[Mellow Velo]

Haha!
Eurosport open up with the Shack on the podium and the all important team classification.
None of the other presentations.

Planet Armstrong anyone?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Should've renamed it Americasport... or Lancesport

 

[CatsNK]

Bike change for Contador.

Tell me about it.
We now have Harmon and Kelly talking about..........The team classification.

I can't ever remember it being a commentary worthy topic, before.

Now, on about Horner and Leiphosuction.

 

[CatsNK]

Did everyone just see Don Quixote?

 

[Stelvioclimber]

I just logged in to post the same. I've never heard it mentioned before other than in passing and all of sudden it's a major theme. It's pretty embarressing really.

Phil just told me that he is absolutely sure that Lance would have been top 5 or 6 this year but for his crashes. No doubt about that.

 

[sublimit]

The shack team will probably get to meet the French president now, they may even get a homecoming party.

The all conquering Radioshack team..

 

[Comeback 2011]

I'd say top ten.

He's getting a little closer to reality - wasn't he previously saying that Lance would definitely have been on the podium if it wasn't for his terrible luck?

Oh so true.

I wonder how much is Kelly being paid to willingly dispense such drivel.


And somebody tell "Phil" Schlecklet crashed too

That was 24 hours ago.

Well... when schlecklet crashed... they waited. If he had lost 8 minutes on Stage 2 I'm not sure what he would have done for the rest of the race. Probably not quit like Armstrong did... maybe chase polkadots?

When did Armstrong crash and lose time?

 

[Publicus]

When did Armstrong crash and lose time?

The better question is when did Armstrong NOT crash and lose time

 

[salixcycling]

Harmon and Kelly are down to talking about the sizes of the bananas in the food bags...

 

[sublimit]

When did Armstrong crash and lose time?

Stage 8 springs to mind. He was cooked by the time of that crash anyway and going out the back.

UK Eurosport is talking about TdF history - long stages where riders had to continue riding at night. The fans would lie in wait for the riders they didn't like and attack them during the night on the road! Interesting stuff.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Blimey, this is cruel.
We have had the first ever "in depth" discussion of the team classment from Eurosport.
Now, they are wheeling out all the tradition questions they get every year.

Meanwhile, the peloton trundle aimlessly along, extending the Champs celebration stage to 300 odd kms.

A traditional tale.

Now, the fans lie in wait and attack forum posters they don't like in the night, over cyberspace.

Wow!! If such things were allowed in 2010 who would be the riders to be attacked? Any ideas people??

Shack fans attacking Caisse riders so they can have an easier job of winning the team classification!?

Heh. I'd have to attack Vino. But not to hurt him.
