Menchov already has the difference

 

[thrawn]

menchov onto the podium based on the first check

 

[Bala Verde]

Contador doesn't look very good on the TT bike now, he wiggles a lot from what I have seen.

Schleck is bombing the first couple of K to play the mind game?

Menchov takes third from Sammy

 

[nicholaaaas]

No more of this 'Don't race/Wait' gentleman crap.

Contador up by 5

8 + 5 = 13. Basic maths

 

[roundabout]

Gadret at 22 minutes at point 3

i'm copying hrotha's predictions from now on

 

[bobs nob]

I've been told by Versus' cycling producer that Lance get's ratings

Also told me cyclo-cross is marketable in the US on TV? come on the WC's are here in a couple years

Lance's 2005 tour rating on VS was double what the 2006 tour got. (Like 1.5 mill compared to 750k viewers) Tiny viewership relative to the big picture, but yes, he gets ratings. It doesn't mean our intelligence has got to be insulted continuously. There is being a 'homer' and then there is this.

 

[ak-zaaf]

Omg omg omg omg

 

[ttrider]

Andy doing very well here

 

[roundabout]

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Schleck gains 1 second

 

[superconfex]

Andy's doing a great ride so far

 

[Anonymous]

This race could use a flat tire from Contador.

Yea, NS. I'd love to see it.

 

[nicholaaaas]

AS 39 sec down on DM

 

[Bala Verde]

Schleck takes back 3s

it's +8 in GC terms +0 in real time.

 

[Biffins]

Schleck 1 sec faster.

Schleck would have won for sure if Contador had not attacked on the chain drop!!

 

[Sophistic]

Menchov is gonna win the tour, haha
