Nobody argues with that, but why quote me with an off-topic? And I've been here 4 days, I'll live yet.

If you took a look at the AC mountain table floating around on this board, you will know what you said is ... well..... rubbish :) He's as good as ever.


Not OT, im responding to your direct quote, no verbier-like performance this year. Everyones waaaaaaay slower thia year.

Not at all. It's just completely unrealistic what he is doing. Do you want me posting his previous ITT results again?

You want me to post Gesink's?

No, you can't whine about honest results. So let's not look at those at all.

You mean the 'honest' result where AS was riding on a far wetter course then Contador? He lost at least 10-20 seconds due to the weather. And if we're talking about Spa, fine but remember that it would be Menchov winning the tour right now if not for Spa not Contador.

All that being said AS will be a bit better next year and FS will be there to help him so it's going to be very exciting.

And the cobbles crashes, and the Spa bonus for Andy. Net he gained more than he lost from accidents/chance.

Come on the race is decided in the mountains. It has been for years. If AC had the class of a Ullrich this race is AS's to lose.

Andy's cooked... but what a great ride

Stunning ride. Seems to be easing off and settling for 2nd now. Hoped for an off-chance that he would push it that wee bit more and than totally implode. Like not being able to sit on the bike any more imploding.

Eat that Vaughters, your Hesjedal dope didnt work

Yay, you support a weak disappointment of a man. He has all the makings of the Tommy D of the Netherlands. Wow, you just beat Ryder Hesjedal...that is saying something. I am not sure what, but something...:rolleyes:

You don't agree with Andy's own words. Okay :D

The course was drying up incredibly fast in the last half an hour, when AS was riding it was still quite wet when AC and Cancellara were racing it was dry enough to fly through the corners again, it was a significant difference.

31 seconds. Or exactly Andy's lead, before chaingate.
39 second lead means the fanboys will feast!:D
( AC would still have won by 8 seconds, though)

I think AS only held on to 2nd place by about 20 seconds to Menchov if I read the times right

corretion, about a minute
