TDF Stage 16 - Tuesday, July 20 2010, Bagnères-de-Luchon - Pau, 196 km

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

10th place for 6 points 3 more then Thor needed for the green.

 

[nvpacchi]

I love when Thor subtlely congratulates himself with a small fist pump when he picks up small incriments of points.

 

[VeloCity]

Armstrong - one of the best riders ever.

Barrego? Who?

Carlos Barredo. The one who is not going to jail.

 

[slimkay]

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.

I know, he didn't stand a chance. But, why the namecalling?

I think all those guys had a great race and they all deserved it.

But to call LA a sucker is a bit much. He has been the sport's ambassador in North America and the sport stands to lose a lot once he retires for good.

 

[dgodave]

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.

I thought the winner "deserved" the stage today.

[Moose McKnuckles]

Nice win by Ferrigo. Beautiful to see BBox performing right when it's needed to get sponsorship.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

He took that much testosterone?

Laughed out loud at this one

 

[Straßenrennen]

I guess we all know now whos thors lead out man next year will:G.Ciolek, formerly of Milram.
Wtf was he thinking, my god, he could of had "1st" if he wasnt busy icing next years contract.....

 

[kurtinsc]

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.

Lance was cooked I think. Horner might have been able to make a move... but they were hoping for some kind of divine intervention in the sprint.

Pretty sure Petacchi share your thoughts, not! Thor in green!

 

[reigarc]

feel for Barredo - he really deserved a win

hope that thor can get the lead again

why exactly deserve a win? big risk to try to escape 45 km on his own.. but a mistake IMO...

casar was out all day. lance too. moreau worked his a** off too.

give credit where credit is due.

No, not really. Armstrong is a fraud and a cheat who will be exposed shortly. To see him win another stage would be a disgrace to cycling.

4 out of the 5 mountain stages have been won by Frenchmen

I wondered why Thor gets better leadouts from his competitors than his own team.

 

[skidmark]

I like how Versus' 'ride of the day' is always just the guy who won. Very imaginative. Why don't you just call it 'the winner'?

Good for the French, good for cycling.

No, no name calling today. He gave it his best. He tried to get rid of the sprinters on the Aubisque, but once that didn't work........
I'm reminded of Simoni in his efforts to take a final stage at the Giro.
Age has taken their legs.

Uumm, anyhow we have Ciolek back in his old lead out roll for Hushovd?
Another Cav fan, I seem to recall.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Ride of the day should go to Barredo, or he'll smash Liggett over the head with a wheel.

 

[Spare Tyre]

No, not really. Armstrong is a fraud and a cheat who will be exposed shortly. To see him win another stage would be a disgrace to cycling.

Along with the way he has ridden this tour.

 

[Credive]

Hm. Did Hushovd and Ciolek just pass Basso and Rogers in the GC?

If you're not north american, as most of the world is not, you really don't care about that.
