TDF Stage 14 - Sunday, July 18 2010, Revel - Ax-3 Domaines, 184 km

[Spare Tyre]

Great ride by Riblon. Very happy.

I know strategy is not my strong point. .... I don't understand much about today's race at all!

 

[bobs nob]

I can't figure Andy's tactics today. He needs time.

He is whistling past the graveyard.

 

[Dutchsmurf]

Leipheimer dropped LL Sanchez, how did that happen?

 

[cotterpin]

typical defensive riding you see at the the tour

 

[cyclestationgiuseppe]

Schleck lost 20s to Samu and Menchov... On a mountain stage.

15 seconds is all the AS and AC lost to DM and SS

and I would say the shack lost their lead on the prestigious team classification.

 

[theyoungest]

Gesink passed Leipheimer on GC. That's the way we roll!

 

[Moondance]

Great performance by Gesink... Had to pass earlier and came back and rode past all those wheelsuckers later on. Helped Menchov win some time.


Nice job Bobby.

 

[franciep10]

I don't get what andy is doing he needs time on Contador but he's just defending

 

[Cyc81325]

The great teammate armstrong decided to pack it in today at the beginning of the first climb in order to rest his legs for his attempt at a stage win and in the process his team loses the supreme Team GC 1st place and his teammate is pulverized when no one is there to help....nice Lance.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Im really really really upset with that idiot Harmon for his extreme overeaction.

"THey are losing the tour bla bla bla bla bla"

They were 3 minutes ahead of samu menchov and lost 15 seconds. SHAME ON HIM for lying to the fans.

harmon wasn't wrong! idiot...

I somehow suspect you're not alone there.

 

[bobs nob]

that was an interesting peeing contest between ac and as. but not much else. Andy burns through another stage without more time on ac and now less on 2 others.

 

[sportzchick]

Contador and Schleck? Yes, you really can have too much of a good thing.
That was rubbish. A complete waste of a stage and insulting to both Menchov and Sanchez to boot.

For Andy that was plain nuts.

Well everyone here on the forum and to me Contador thought he would destroy schleck - he didnt so he has to ask questions about if he really can or not......phycological blow for Andy TBH.

Ive seen leaders of the TDF with terrible TT skills pull out a blinder of a TT before.

 

[The Hitch]

heres hoping contador and schleck have tired themselves out with all this.

And why are you talking about Lance right now? seriously

Nice job Bobby.

He was lucky...

Nice job Bobby.

He rode very well today. As did Menchov.

 

[Ryaguas]

El Pistolero looks weak today... he didn't has it... Bad News for the next mountains stage and for the MTF in Tourmalet...

 

[The Sheep]

At least Levi dropped, I'm happy

well AS is, Menchov and S. Sanchez are way better tt'ers than him.

 

[Publicus]

Maybe Andy was going for some psychological blows.

 

[Anonymous]

harmon wasn't wrong! idiot...

You really think Menchov just won the tour because of that? Seriously?

 

[Cyc81325]

And why are you talking about Lance right now? seriously

Maybe because Levi just crossed the line after having to fight the last 2km on his own? Its not a Lance/RS free zone last time I checked.

 

[cyclestationgiuseppe]

harmon wasn't wrong! idiot...

15 seconds is irrelevant with 3 more really hard days in the mts.... either AS or AC hardly lost the tour today....a bit of over-reaction.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Caisse have three riders in before Radioshack do...

Levi 1'53", Horner 2'26", Klöden 2'30" = 6'49"
Sánchez 2'02", Moreau 2'02", Kiryienka 2'16" = 6'20"

Radioshack had 31" advantage this morning. They have 2" now.
