Tdf Stage 11 - Thursday, July 15 2010, Sisteron - Bourg-lès-Valence, 180 km

[palmerq]

He has learned a lot?

yes the motivational tweets have had a great effect on alberto :S

 

[crispy]

Looks like Vino dragged Contador up there once then he slipped back and Vino had to drag him back up there again.

 

[Cobblestones]

No, he just has team-mates that actually like him.

+1

Yeah, that.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Sergio "Twitter Hard with a Vengeance" Paulinho is out the back. Amateur.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

No, he just has team-mates that actually like him.

But not enough to have the man behind AC just in case he needs a new bike/

 

[Big GMaC]

Boom goes Voigt

 

[Cobblestones]

Sergio "Twitter Hard with a Vengeance" Paulinho is out the back. Amateur.

So where's Leipheimer?

 

[Big GMaC]

But not enough to have the man behind AC just in case he needs a new bike/

What do you mean? Vino is right there

 

[Moondance]

Briefly it was the Battle of the Banks, and Saxo wins

It's a good try by Saxo, but I doubt anyone is going to get caught out.... ITs just not difficult enough.

 

[Beech Mtn]

Contador has Vino. Took him to the front like he was in a stretch limo.

Always knew Vino would be an awesome teammate for AC.

3 astana guys are off the back :S....... I saw contador making a big effort with vino to get up to the front...

AC rests his climbers on flat stages near the end of the stage. He essentially has 2 subsets of his team, guys for flat/sprint/rolling stages (Noval, Grivko, Iglinsky, Vino) and climbers (Navarro, Tiralongo, DDLF, Hernandez, Vino again).

 

[palmerq]

this stage is a wee bit interesting now :S

i think i saw leipheimer near the front with armtrong ahead of him..

 

[Straßenrennen]

Between the two rabo guys in about 8th place.

 

[Jamsque]

Yeah, wind is just not fast enough, and Contador has got himself RIGHT on Schleck's wheel.

I'm glad to see Saxo attacking the race, though, they really want to take every chance they get to put time into Alberto.

 

[Big GMaC]

Super Chav!

 

[Beech Mtn]

Chavanel attacks!

 

[TourOfSardinia]

What do you mean? Vino is right there

Vino is in front not behind - he doesn't look as if will wait in case of trouble
- he'll find it difficult to turn round and go back

 

[Francois the Postman]

But not enough to have the man behind AC just in case he needs a new bike/

Carlos Barredo will hand anyone a wheel if you say the magic word.

 

[Beech Mtn]

Popo burying himself with Chav, but no way they will stay away.

 

[Straßenrennen]

Ciolek for the win today, got a good feeling and Milram needs at least some kind of crumb from the tour.

 

[crispy]

Chavanel wasn't going anywhere but still, he's a beast!

 

[Beech Mtn]

carlos barredo will hand anyone a wheel if you know how to speak to him.

lol . . . . . . . .

 

[Moondance]

Hmmm. Cervelo and Lampre playing right into Columbia's hands.... Cav will take this.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Armstrong right on the tail........wind.
Lampre doing Columbia's graft.

 

[Beech Mtn]

Anybody But Cav.

 

[Big GMaC]

Looks like Armstrong has a lot to learn.

And some A$$cam of Cancelara, Phil sound confused!
