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

[Cerberus]

Wow, didn't think Andy could drop Contador, perhaps the Tour will be exciting after all.

 

[Larrybud]

Great win by Schleck. What happened to ****stolero?? all that work by astana to lead Andy to the win!!! ****stolero looks weak.

 

[The Hitch]

wiggins loses 1 40 seconds on contador.

 

[Publicus]

And we have a race folks. Love this.

 

[sportzchick]

Kudos to Andy - rode it very very well

Cadel in yellow - hope he can hold it to the pyranees as sadly I cant see him having it during then

 

[auscyclefan94]

wiggins coming in.

 

[Thee_chisa]

wiggins loses 1.45

 

[kurtinsc]

WOW. Wiggins REALLY went backwards. He got passed by a lot of people.

 

[armstrong]

Is it possible Conti is just "acting"?

 

[Jamsque]

Wiggins fell all the way back to Thomas Lovkvist, 1:45. His tour is probably also over, it would take a miracle in the pyrenees for him to better his 4th place of last year.

 

[BroDeal]

Wigans down a minute forty. He will die in the Pyreness. My twenty minute prediction is only a matter of time.

 

[Moondance]

Good win for Schleck. Wins another 10 seconds for the TT.

And, pah... 3rd for Gesink. For about 4 glorious seconds I thought he was free.... But then Sanchez closed him down

 

[Thee_chisa]

i think wiggins popped big time, maybe fringale? as a fanboy i still want to believe he can be up there.

 

[Parrot23]

Hog may be correct that Bertie isn't quite as strong this year. Seems to have been working more on TT'ing than climbing.

 

[bobs nob]

Great kick by Andy. I didn't think AC looked that great today. Great win for Andy.

Surprised he didn't follow AS. He shut it down right away. Evans is his main rival right now.

Rest well, AC.

 

[Tyke1968]

Andy wanted to win for his bro but he looked very strong.

 

[Mach Schnell]

wow, Schlecklet the man to beat.

I'll hold you to this: you called him a "man" not a pu$$y

 

[auscyclefan94]

Cadel was caught off guard when the attacks went.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Woooohooooo!!!!

We have a race on our hands, folks! I was afraid it would be the Contador show all Tour long. But now I am hopeful we are going to see a major battle.

Great stuff today. Great stuff.

 

[sublimit]

Wigans fell apart, but just come in with Lovqvuist so not a disaster.

 

[jaylew]

Hey, Thee Chisa, want to rethink that Samuel Sanchez thing? He's getting better and better.

2 Footon guys finishing up there. Nice to see.

 

[woodburn]

First TDF stage win by Schleck. Well done.

 

[The Hitch]

was samu a 1 of today or do people think he can challenge??

he has no chance. i stand by that

 

[turtlesoup]

conto doesnt need the 10 seconds but surely he wouldnt give it away 2k from the finish, he didnt have it. Great read by andy
