Stage 8: Station des Rousses - Morzine-Avoriaz 189km

[Wergeland]

Vino is struggling. Van den Broeck is my favourite for the day.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Come on Vino, pace it up.

Gesink not looking good either.

Why do you think that? Bye bye vino!

 

[Thee_chisa]

vino off,

lots of damage today

 

[Delicato]

Now that's what I call a good tempo.

 

[Ferminal]

Gotta feel sorry for Horner, could top10 on a stage like today.

 

[superconfex]

VINO GONE

 

[turtlesoup]

i wonder what the excuse will be from lancypoo? wouldnt surprised me if the crash was staged so he had an excuse for this

 

[Thee_chisa]

armstrong nearly a minute back

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Retirement shack

 

[Ferminal]

Looks like bike sales weren't so good this year.

 

[Publicus]

Vino cracked!

 

[Wallace]

armstrong nearly a minute back

It's a beautiful day.

 

[ak-zaaf]

Why do you think that? Bye bye vino!

Gesink dropped a few spots but he seems to recover.

Vino is feeling the Giro. He will not be the last ;p

 

[Moondance]

Mass suicides forecast for this evening.
RShack have......................Kloden.
Vino gone. fatboy.
Kloden gone. Total disaster.

Nope, dropped...

Levi is still there though.

"Armstrong is a good mountain bike rider and a good descender"

 

[Anonymous]

Wow, this really messes up Bob Roll's idiotic "This is a two man race" commentary. Freaking moron.

 

[Francois the Postman]

OK, I never saw that coming. Carnage!

Vino "tactically" shadowing Kloeden then. Wow.

 

[Publicus]

Armstrong should get back on the descent.

 

[Cerberus]

Hmm, I wonder whether it's the Crash. Armstrong really shouldn't get dropped at this point, but then again neither should Klöden and he hasn't crashed.

So I guess that should make Leipheimer the RS captain.

 

[D Avoid]

My guitar gently weeps, then inexplicably, breaks into a jig, will he now sue his enchancers for dodgy gear?

 

[BeachBum]

So, can someone make a thread predicting the day of retirement? At least he has a valid reason now - those sickening grazes.

Today. With the heat, crash and saddle sore, he's had 3 strikes in one day. The offical story will be "I wanted to stay and fight, but the saddle sore, blah blah blah."

 

[Thee_chisa]

i wonder if sky realise the damage they have done, and whether or not this was intended. knowing what brailsford is like i suspect this is all planned

 

[Delicato]

Are there any Saxo guys with Andy? Astana looks like the best climbing team.

 

[bobs nob]

belly breathe, Lance, belly breathe. How about a rice cake? It's dipped in caramel.

 

[Fourier]

Horner chatting away, not even trying. Armstrong meanwhile suffers
