LOL. Check out the fanboy getting all riled up.

Armstrong did not deserve to win today's stage. Barredo did. He animated the stage and rode like a hero.

Well, in another thread I predicted that LA wouldn't be let go in a break and wouldn't have the legs to win a stage. I was wrong on the first count but right on the second. Nicely done by Fedrigo but bummer for Barredo.

Anyway, way to go BBox for 2 wins in a row in the high mountains!!!

Why are you guys dissing on Lance today as well. Atleast he was in the breakaway both times and was in the sprint for the win at the end. Not all 10 in the breakaway were going to win, obviously.

I just read the past 20 pages quickly.

Damn you guys suck, not even recognizing Jurgen Vandewalle, who has a completely different posture than De Weert

 

[dgodave]

Told ya.
Feel sorry for Baredo though

Sort of.
.
But it seemed a bit wrong that he stayed away as long as that.

Err, someone who joined in July 2010 and has 5 posts is not really in a position to be calling someone a 'troll', especially with inflammatory statements about riders accompanying your accusation.

I joined 1 year ago, and I don't post a lot because I have a life, among other things.

I don't know how I did that, VDW's name has been on the screen/commentator's saying his name..

Armstrong - one of the best riders ever.

Barrego? Who?

Be entertained. While others congratulate the winner, he's doing what losers have and always will do.

Lance tried, I have to say, but he was never beating Fedrigo and Casar in a straight up sprint.
Fanboys and girls, just accept it and no sour grapes.

Yeah whoops sorry, I read "July 2009" as 'July 2010'. Stupid move on my part. Anyway, I just didn't like the inflammatory stuff, I'm having fun watching the stage and all. Forget I said anything!

ETA: Thor in green again!

 

[The Hitch]

thor in green.

Come on Pettachi in Bordeaux and Paris.

 

[Ramira]

Thor Back in the green by 4 points, gonna be close considering how chaotic the Champs-Élysées sprint usually is.

 

[Wergeland]

10th place for Thor. Gets the green jersey back. Well deserved.

 

[badboyberty]

What were the Shack boys thinking, three decent finishers in the group and they didn't try make an early move?

Lance has a lot to learn.

Sigh

There are like a hundred threads about this. Look at them.

In short they love cancer and are allergic to greatness.

Solid leadout by Ciolek

lol @ the sprint for 12th position in the peleton..................... How many points was that for?

This.

Lance got in the break... but it wasn't a great one for him to get a win from. Too many of them had a better sprint. I don't think he had the legs... but I thought to have a chance that he would need to make a move on the last climb... or barring that attack when Barredo did.

Riding to a sprint with that group simply was never going to work.
