TDF Stage 19 - Saturday, July 24 2010, Bordeaux - Pauillac, 51 km ITT

[bobs nob]

Armstrong did

Note to lance, playing mantovani, ray coniff singers and barry manilow may not be conducive to a really hard effort.

 

[nia O'Malley]

Neutralizations for any wind over 5 kph?

10.
Those are big boys they can handle that much

 

[dgodave]

Armstrong did

Probly some horrible music.
.
If it was me I'd want a dial to control the exact BPM of the songs.

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Time for DT to tell us what a good trialist Bobby Gesink is.

Considering the circumstances, he is, he did well.

 

[Cerberus]

Nwm, might have misunderstood something.

 

[Big GMaC]

Menchov 11th @ +3.50

 

[sublimit]

Special ride by Menchov. Solid Soviet bloc muscle into a big headwind.

 

[ak-zaaf]

I thought it was is awful prologue result...

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

 

[Parrot23]

So now it looks like a dropped chain is going to decide this race. Wow.

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

 

[Mellow Velo]

23 seconds. Andy looks knackered.

 

[Bala Verde]

Eat that Vaughters, your Hesjedal dope didnt work

Take it to the clinic. Last warning.

 

[bjaelkesex]

Makes you wonder why Andy did such an awful prologue...

 

[bobs nob]

is schleck slowing down, the pace seems a little slower now?

 

[Cerberus]

Makes you wonder why Andy did such an awful prologue...

Peaking for the third week perhaps?

 

[Big GMaC]

Schleck slowing

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Schleck going backwards....

 

[nia O'Malley]

Makes you wonder why Andy did such an awful prologue...

Too short no doubt. Andy is all stayer, even in the mountains


and he's doing well vs AC but not really in terms of GC for the stage

 

[Mellow Velo]

26 seconds.
The man with the hammer has arrived in the nick of time, to snatch the immoral victory from the fanboys hands.

 

[thrawn]

all over unless something goes wrong for contador. closer than i was expecting though.

 

[superconfex]

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

 

[Big GMaC]

Man, Menchov slayed it

 

[avantage]

It will be more than 31sec in the end. Which means chain-gate is not that important.

Schleck is not fast. It's Contador who is quite slow...

 

[Bala Verde]

RAB taking today's team classification? 3 in top 15 (Tjal, Moerenhout, Mench)

 

[Big GMaC]

Woah, schleck nearly loses it!

 

[El Pistolero]

LMAO

Again his CHAIN
