Perez Arrieta the sprinter hanging on. Wtf

Sure he's a sprinter? Finished 32nd at the 2007 giro.

 

[The Hitch]

just saw an astana rider talking to an rs rider. he put his hand on his shoulder. anyone catch this? it was so fast. pretty sure it was rs unless it was caisse. just wondering who the two were?

yes it was an rs rider but the footage is from behind.

I think the Astana rider was contador. The radioshack rider was i think number 22 so Brajkovic.

 

[sublimit]

My pick Turgot has gone out of the back..

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Voeckler, Vansummeren and Ballan... or just Voeckler?

 

[cyclestationgiuseppe]

Putting his foot down.

eggggscelllent!!

 

[ericthesportsman6]

[BroDeal]

Forza Voeckler!!!

Perez Arrieta the sprinter hanging on. Wtf

Finished top 10 on a climbing stage of Catalunya (stage 3) this year as well... ahead of Leipheimer and Kloden, with guys like Taaramae and Casar. Apparently wasn't falling back from a break either.

Has been in the top 10-15 of sprint finishes as well. He's got an odd set of finishes to his name.

 

[The Hitch]

Voeckler looks good. Would be ironic if he won a big mountain stage this year considering last year he won the flattest stage of the tour.

 

[salixcycling]

Perez dropped, Voeckler breaking free

 

[khodder]

Voeckler stayed in the front group. How well does he descend?

When he wants to he is very good. I.E good bike handler who descends very well if he takes risks. When he had yellow for a while he did just that.

Cuenego dropped from the Peloton.

that makes sense - remember the Dauphine

 

[The Hitch]

yep thats what i thought

 

[Big GMaC]

Tommy V!

Do it for my fantasy team I remember why I chose you!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Voeckler doing it

 

[Big GMaC]

Just one thing, why are all of astana sitting behind contador in the line?

 

[salixcycling]

In that case, Voeckler for the win!

Isn't Perez a climbing domestique?

Instead of asking who descends better, from the remaining breakaway riders, also ask who knows the road the best.

 

[Bala Verde]

+5:55m and 7.1K to go...

Wonder if he can make it...Prolly depends on whether or not the big fish start attacking each other, (without sur placing off course.)

 

[ericthesportsman6]

Roche with mechanical problems

Just one thing, why are all of astana sitting behind contador in the line?

Wants to be on the wheel of Andy if he accelerates.

 

[lilyprotector]

contador wants to be on schleck's wheel so he can follow him if he takes off

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

No war on the Port de Bales. Very dissapointing. Very dissapointing indeed.

 

[Big GMaC]

contador wants to be on schleck's wheel so he can follow him if he takes off

Thought so, just wanted to be sure
