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

Saxobank and Rabobank aren't helping the chase at all... 30 seconds now!

apparently ac was fetching water bottles for lance when the split happened

Wow!!! Can't believe POPO is pulling.

I bet the bottles AC gives Lance will be kinda warm

and salty!

Lance riding lead

And sending Zubeldia up front - and he goes. Le Patron has taken over again, at least in this group. Another sad c o c kup by Rabo.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Surely they have in the least won the stage in that group aka Cav wins

Wow!!! Can't believe POPO is pulling.

I can. Lance was on the radio, Popo went to the front, JB obviously sees that Astana have a chance to put Armstrong in yellow tomorrow. Then things get really ugly in the bus.

 

[Sophistic]

muahaha, maybe LA is gonna try to drop Contador tomorrow as well.

 

[Delicato]

Calm down, people. LA will only make up 30 seconds to Contador or so, anyway, he will dropped in Arcalis.

 

[Amsterhammer]

....Then things get really ugly in the bus.

You got that right.

 

[Mellow Velo]

All three Astana big names sacrificed for the "Ego".
Who'd a thunk it?
Just watch what happens tomorrow.

Funny, Saxo taking the traditional team tactic of protecting the strongest GC they have. Astana not helping the chase in the peloton though. Guess The Hog does call the shots.

 

[Parrot23]

Serious trouble for Evans, given the TTT tomorrow. Could be all over for him.

One thing about Alberto is he has a cool head: his Giro win was masterful.

 

[linenoiz]

Team Time Trial is gonna be interesting when there is tension in the team.

 

[frizzlefry]

Contador doesnt have anything to ***** about. His fault for not paying attention.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

almost 40 seconds...
Thor vs Cav + Highroad Army

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Spartacus is going to take this one.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Spartacus is going to take this one.

I hope so!

Hincape getting to ride for Lance again.

 

[Franklin]

This is the gauntlet slapped in the face of AC. A glove filled with pointy rocks^^

 

[Parrot23]

Can't blame Astana to respond with some of the arrows in their quiver. They're hedged. Nothing personal...yet.

Thats exactly what the Dutch Commentators were saying

If he cant get this back its all over unless somthing remarkable happens

Why they didnt get Contador to come with then I have no idea

I believe Both Shlecks can pull it back as Saxo could win the TTT and they are great in the mountains

 

[Franklin]

Awwww AC near the front of the Peleton... and it breaks again
