Wow - talk about an anti-climax! Exciting but a non-event in the end.

Contador gave the stage to Andy Schleck. Great gesture that kind of makes up for the chain incident.

 

[mikkemus23]

gift....

 

[Lyds97]

That completely sucked.

 

[TRDean]

Pretty classy for Contador not to attack him at the line.

I missed it...did Andy give it all he had and just couldn't drop Contador?

 

[Cerberus]

No way... AC hasn't won a stage yet.

Hesj!!!!111

 

[luckyboy]

Menchov!

 

[alberto.legstrong]

anticlimactic.

back to work.

 

[Mellow Velo]

So, Schleck allowed to take the stage and the difference between them on the mountains is nil.

A ridiculous finish, if you wanted to attack, you would have to carry half a dozen loonies on your bars.
Worse than Ventoux.
This Tour has managed to out suck, last year. a feat in itself.

Sanchez gets some time on Menchov

 

[Ferminal]

Wow Sanchez jumped ahead of Menchov!

 

[Publicus]

Ryder!!! Great ride!

[The Hitch]

How much time did Samu get, 5 seconds.

Shame he didnt go earlier.

 

[scribe]

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Rodriguez takes time...

 

[Cerberus]

I missed it...did Andy give it all he had and just couldn't drop Contador?

He rode tempo and occasionally accelerated, he didn't slow down to launch full attacks.

Yes. Contador attacked once and could not shake off Andy either.

 

[indurain666]

Do you really think Contador could have taken the stage? I think he was going as fast as he could.

hhehehehe in your dreams
