If Schleck knocked his chain off with his foot then it was his own mistake, and he deserves to pay for it.

agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Ramira]

Andy Schlek was clearly the best climber today if you see this comeback.... I think he might have won it if not for his bad luck.

 

[Ferminal]

Just lot a lot of respect for Contador.....
total weaksauce!

As someone said, no one waited for him in 2007.

Including a certain Frank Schleck.

 

[The Hitch]

24 seconds for contador, is he riding himself into yellow?

 

[Wergeland]

Contador is still pulling like crazy. What a f***ing cheater. Andy clearly was the best climber today.

 

[Bala Verde]

Does Anyone think Andy would wait in the final TT when Contador gets a mechanical?

 

[thrawn]

Gapped Contador? he was right behind him.

AC should go...riders have waited enough for AS on this Tour

pretty sure that was vino on his wheel...

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Gesink can't follow Hesjedal and Leipheimer... pfff

 

[staubsauger]

well....

that's the different betwen a real champ like the hog always was and alberto contador.

fantastic rider, fantastic climber as well but his career as a gt winner is cobbled with such a luck.

 

[Moondance]

Ahhhhh... Gesink. Get back on before the descent or you're toast!

Actually I swear Vino had him covered and AC was coming to him. But this same thing happened to AC in 2007 if I recall.

BTW: AC isn't riding alone.

He was bridging. The thing I see now is that Contador cannot drop SS or Menchov, so he isn't riding that strong. A

Andy is about to blow.

 

[lilyprotector]

the fact that as is flying up the mountain on his own says a lot. that sucks. i really want him to crush ac now.

a lot of people disregarded the talk about ac bec they hated la so much, but ac has really shown his true colors. he's yellow all right.

 

[Spare Tyre]

pretty sure that was vino on his wheel...

I thought it was Vino too.

 

[Jamsque]

Schleck riding like a beast, he closed the gap to Contador right down on that climb.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

amazing AS only 15 s lost

 

[The Hitch]

Contador is pushing on the descent. Samu not

 

[salixcycling]

Isn't that Sanchez and Menchov also with AC? Why only hate for Bertie? AS isolated himself which was his own risk to take.

 

[staubsauger]

well....

that's the different betwen a real champ like the hog always was and alberto contador.

fantastic rider, fantastic climber as well but his career as a gt winner is cobbled with such a luck.

and i'm not a la fan for clear!

 

[khodder]

I thought it was Vino too.

It WAS Vino. Berti was 10 meters back...

Schleck going to risk it all on the descent.

 

[indurain666]

Do any of the AC haters really think that AS would have wasted an opportunity like this?

No one waited for him in 2007

Peloton waited for AS a few times already..

 

[Ramira]

Anyone have an idea how long schlek stood still before he got going again? It feels it was more then the 15 seconds he was behind on the top.

 

[The Hitch]

Andy Schleck

is this David Arroyo 2?

 

[Publicus]

He was bridging. The thing I see now is that Contador cannot drop SS or Menchov, so he isn't riding that strong. A

Andy is about to blow.

Why would he want to drop them? They all will work together on the descent to put time into Andy, it's in their mutual interest to do so.

 

[dgodave]

Concrete curb on a French mt pass?
.

 

[marinoni]

If Schleck knocked his chain off with his foot then it was his own mistake, and he deserves to pay for it.

why? Is this some new loophole you just thought up?
