TDF Stage 9 - Tuesday, July 13 2010, Morzine-Avoriaz - Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne, 204 k

[kurtinsc]

The unmentioned Menchov sitting in 4th overall.

Yes... but 3rd is as high as he can realistically go now.

I can't see him gaining time on Andy and Contador in the mountains... but he's not going to get enough back on Andy in the TT to potentially take 3rd.

It's going to be like last year... Andy vs Alberto with everyone else fighting for 3rd.

 

[sportzchick]

TdF not boring!
Menchov not dead yet either

lol

"the reports of my death are greatly exaguated (spelling)" lol now if he can win a stage i will be pleased - its about 1am in oz and ive got work so night all

 

[Moondance]

Wtf!? Kreuziger was behind the Basso group?

Yes.... And Basso was pulling all along with VDB2 and de Weert. Weird he didn't wait to do it together. Maybe a communication breakdown?

 

[STODRR]

Wow what a chase

 

[Jamsque]

wiggins lost about 4 mins useless twat

Pretty much. Either he's climbing worse than last year or everyone else has gotten better.

 

[Cowgirlup]

Wow

Michael Rogers comes in before Cadel even though he went off the back first.

That isn't right. There is more to it than Cadel just not being so good in the mountains.

 

[Big GMaC]

Looks like Ryder will beat Wigans to Paris.. Where is the old Sky vs. Garmin thread?

Search function muppet

 

[Cobblestones]

Great finish of a great stage.

Biggest loser: ASO for re-introducing a$$cam. Finally, there's a thoroughly interesting stage, and they fail completely to show it.

 

[Fourier]

Cadel Bus coming in

 

[Moondance]

Nice to see Evans fighting. Clawed back a minute + on most grupettos.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Here comes Evans at 8 minutes.

[khodder]

Cuddles group coming in here....

He loses a total of 8 minutes and 6 seconds on Schleck. 7 minutes and 16 seconds to Samu and around 5 minutes on Menchov/Gesink.

 

[RedZone]

AGAIN!!!!
- wake up people!!!
This is a race and it is importent who wears the yellow yersey in Paris!!!!
But today will have the GC contenders 20 minuts back before Madeleine!!!
Why??
1. Because there is no point in using energy with 30 clicks downhill/flat at the end. The risks is higher than the gain!!!
2. The leader has a team who can not ( and do not want to) control the race untill Paris.

The break-away goes all the way.
There will be some attacks from the second best GC-riders in the peleton up Madeleine, and some of them might get a minut on others GC-riders... So what !!!! AS, AC, Evans will ride together all the way!!!

Noone will use team energy if they do not see a gain!!! And today noone will risk anything!!!

And remember RAIN and COLD changes everything!!!!!

hows that foot taste?

OMG

Cuddless

[Moondance]

Wow.... Cadel in tears.

 

[Jamsque]

From the way he seemed to recover on the descent I'd say he had the hunger knock. You can't forget to eat, Cadel!

 

[sportzchick]

Wow

Michael Rogers comes in before Cadel even though he went off the back first.

That isn't right. There is more to it than Cadel just not being so good in the mountains.

and IMHO theres more to it then just a heavy workload

 

[roundabout]

Shouldn't Evans be used to failure by now?

 

[Mellow Velo]

Aussies better look away. Those aren't tears of joy.

 

[hoolaparara]

And of course P&P called the final sprint perfectly with Cunego running away with it.... hmm no thats not right...

 

[rxgqgxnyfz]

Ok, i am not that much of Evens fan, but that is truly heartbreaking even for me.

I'm afraid for ACF well-being.

A problem I certainly don't have. I'm heading to the fridge right now.

 

[Moondance]

Cadel's wife clearly has competition from Mauro
