TDF Stage 14: Saint-Gaudens - Plateau de Beille 168km

[Ramira]

Meh I'm really disappointed in Andy today, he seemed to have a lot more then he had but he was afraid to drop his big brother. He'd better not lose this tour by less then 20 seconds because today will be where he left it.

 

[luckyboy]

lol Andy dominating to get 2 seconds there

 

[thehog]

go andy at least he got something however small

What was the point? It was pure frustration.

 

[spalco]

Congratulations for that whole second, Andy, you dumb lazy idiot.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Cunego loses 40secs to GC boys - sob!

 

[Parrulo]

cunego paced himself very well

is it safe to say that contador's form is slowly increasing?

 

[Ferminal]

On a brighter (although unsuprising) note, tonyrider's prophecy failed once more.

 

[Ramira]

Have to say that the days biggest losers are the Schlecks.

Not sure about that, I think the biggest winner is Evans, I think the Schlecks, Contador and Basso have all lost today, though maybe Andy a bit more then others.

 

[Apollonius]

Tommy V has been munching on the old Spanish Steak I think. No other explanation.

 

[mr. tibbs]

Haha Andy.

Eurosport commentators replaced with French housewives, it seems.

 

[zapata]

Taaramae now. How does he do vs Uran? Uran in white?

 

[Franckiie]

Congratz Jelle! Great tour for Belgium despite the fall of JVDB!

 

[sultanofhyd]

This looks very Pereiro to me.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Jelle will win the Tour, then?

Andy takes a whole, huge second.
Beware the Yellow Peril.
Tommy Voeckler simply amazing, today.

Hope this lot swop their handbags for sledge hammers, by the time we reach the Alps.

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Ruijgh saves the Dutchies with a top 20

 

[superconfex]

well...that was an anti climax..thank goodness we've got a flatty tomorrow

 

[kjetilraknerud]

Why does he need magic? He still has a solid time advantage

Without checking, I'm quite sure he has lost two minutes to Evans on several occasions.

 

[Parrulo]

Cunego loses 40secs to GC boys - sob!

welll i guess this was his usual bad day so lets hope from now on he goes well

he will the pinerollo stage

 

[Sea The Stars]

I watch three Tours, five Monuments and the World Championships ever year. I don't know much but I enjoy watching the sport of cycling.
-------------------------------------

Cycling is about to descent into farce again.

 

[killswitch]

Great victory by Vanendert. Brave riding by Contador + the frenchies, Basso and Cuddles closed the Schlecks down, so he is still in with a chance.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

What happened to Velits? Last I knew he was looking good, then he just disappeared... couldn't quite tell where.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Not sure about that, I think the biggest winner is Evans, I think the Schlecks, Contador and Basso have all lost today, though maybe Andy a bit more then others.

At least Basso tried - the only diesel thing he knows

 

[meandmygitane]

Voeckler doesn't look to tired, can bunch his fists and all..

This surely can't continue, with Voeckler in yellow, can it?

 

[Maxiton]

Congratulations for that whole second, Andy, you dumb lazy idiot.

My sentiments exactly!
