TdF official thread: Stage 3 Marseille-Grand Motte (196.0km)

Fantastic, I'm laughing my *** of.... Sooooo AC might loose the gap he had^^

What will go through AC's head now? The mind games.. the mind games ^^

 

[frizzlefry]

Well, that is Contador's fault for not being in the front.

It's his fault for not paying attention.

 

[Franklin]

Kloden breaking the speed^^

LMAO Lance oh Lance.

 

[Epicycle]

Well this proves that the little Astana jersey on the bottom of the Versus screen is telling us where Lance is. It's showing on the first group and I'm sure it's not for Klodi.

No question who wins the stage though.

 

[Ferminal]

Finally some action!

 

[Mellow Velo]

Lotto, Rabo, Saxo and Garmin, not exactly pulling hard.
Are the expecting a shift in the wind?

 

[39*23t]

WOW!!!
I kinda hope they survive
Would make it that more interesting!
PS: SKIL SHIMANO have done well

is Kenny there?

No question who wins the stage though.

Hushovd is there as well but with all those THR it's going to be hard for him to beat Cav.

 

[Delicato]

Columbia will pay for this effort tomorrow. None of the GT contenders except Kirchen and Armstrong are there- poursuivants will surely catch 'em.

 

[Amsterhammer]

One of the Dutch commentators reckons that this demonstrates the split within Astana because Lance should have 'warned' AC, the other one said that Lance was simply showing his experience in reading the race and paying proper attention, which AC was not doing. They're still arguing.

is Kenny there?

I sure hope so, would be nice to seem him contest cav

 

[Anonymous]

Well, I give Lance credit. Rarely if ever has he missed something like that. None of the Astana riders are pulling however. Garmin pulling and they are not too far off.

 

[Franklin]

LMAO full panic in the peleton^^

 

[Delicato]

I've got a funny feeling (Paul always uses this expression) that Cav won't win today.

Contador should have been GLUED to Lance's wheel. Also, it isn't like this was a surprise to ANYONE. Contador's fault. Looks like they might get caught.

Lance was just on the mic. Looks like the HP is fading a bit in the break.

 

[Franklin]

I'm not exactly a Lance fan, but boy do I hope he stays in front.. this is pure gold

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

peleton gonna catch them.
At least THR will have weakend a little for the sprint

EDIT: Scrath that, i havve no clue if thy will last

 

[Franklin]

BOOYAH!!

Popo riding!!!

LMAO!!!!

Now we know wat he was phoning about.

 

[Parrot23]

Contador should have learned at Paris Nice, where Rabo blew it apart in wind. The Dutch can do it. That and hunger knocks can beat him.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

whooah popo pulling!!

 

[Anonymous]

Now Astana starts to pull. OK, that is confirmation that Contador will have to win by himself.

 

[Franklin]

I want to be a fly on the wall when Astana is having diner.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Haha! Astana Team Lance pulling on the front!
Says it all! fireworks tonight!
Astana will implode. The end.

Bertie will sit on the back of for the whole of the TTT and suck wheel!

Considering that most of the big guys aren't in front it might just have been coincedence.
