TDF Stage 17 - Thursday, July 22 2010, Pau - Col du Tourmalet, 174 km

[Big GMaC]

8,9 km to go......mark my words

On the ramp?

 

[Ten Percent Grade]

Both Schleck and Contador look fairly comfortable to me.

That's the problem.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Barredo

WTF is going on?

 

[BroDeal]

Radio Shack must have gotten rest day refills. All of a sudden the team can climb.

 

[ericthesportsman6]

Barredo! wow

 

[auscyclefan94]

van den broeck will be on the front soon.. doesn't he understand the whole follow the teammate thing?

He is not smart....I hope the Silent Assasin makes a move. If he is on a good day in the tt he could take 2nd.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Bam. It's on.

 

[Francois the Postman]

What is VDB doing?

I hope something unexpected. Teh one way to floor 21st century cycling is to start doing something wilder than all these "unwritten rules". First one to get that might steal something nice.

 

[superconfex]
