Stage Summary

I love that part of the stage summary is that Armstrong finished the TT.

 

[Ferminal]

So, does Bobby fancy giving Menchov a tow?

 

[nia O'Malley]

AS lost the time again.

If anything did decide this tour, it was his horrible prologue.

 

[ttrider]

Do you know the final times? If so, what are they?

 

[Steel4Ever]

If the 1st-2nd split at the end of the day is >3 secs...will we see attacks for the remaining days???

 

[BYOP88]

I think Menchov may be joining that elite club.

 

[nicholaaaas]

I think he just does that a lot. I have heard that mentioned before in other TT's.

It's prolly a waste of energy though.

I haven't noticed it before

 

[Mellow Velo]

This headwind is making anything possible.
AC edging ahead, but............

 

[Parrot23]

If anything did decide this tour, it was his horrible prologue.

Also the cobbles and Spa, where Andy benefitted on both from reverse outcomes on crashes.

Do not respond to BPC!!!!! Ignore him please!

 

[nicholaaaas]

Maybe we can all go back to racing single gear cogs next Tour.
No gear changes = no chain drops.
Or maybe some riders can just learn how to operate their equipment.

how bout fixed gears?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Vandenbroeck had a 1 minute lead on Gesink at point 1..
He still has exact the same lead at point 2.

Seems there's a lot of fast starters stagnating.

damn I hope Saxo's dirty tactics don't decide the tour

 

[Big GMaC]

I haven't noticed it before

Yeah he always does it, everyone always says WTF? And no one ever really understands why

 

[franciep10]

Andy is weakening while Contador is accelerating

 

[reigarc]

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.

Actually, it has been a LOT slower:

"yesterday on the Col du Tormalet, the climbing time was 56:30 for the Yellow Jersey, compared to that huge day in 2003, when Armstrong and Ullrich did it in 44:30.* And yes, the race situation was different, but 12 minutes?* That's too big to be accounted for by strategy alone, even weather conditions"

 

[roundabout]

Schleck doesn't look great, slightly better wins the day.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Contador is winning time now.

 

[Big GMaC]

Do not respond to BPC!!!!! Ignore him please!
