Go Sammy Sanchez on the descent!! This guy is being underrated terribly this tour.

 

[nvpacchi]

Sanchez is beautiful to watch down a mountain, it seems he already made up half the time on AS and AC

 

[Moondance]

Hey!!!! Its Cadel everyone!

 

[Jamsque]

Wow, Evans really did crack. He's still climbing!

 

[Big GMaC]

Evans 7'16

VDB puncture

Which should help those two if he catches them (which they should allow to happen). They need someone to lead them through the corners and then a third body on the flats to get maximum time.

Agreed. I've found myself shouting at the TV whenever the commentators talk about the GC guys and completely neglect to mention him.

Venga Sammy!!

Fwiw

Evans lost a min per km on the last stretch uphill.

Anthony Charteau has stolen the polkas from Pineau with 40 points at the top of the Madeleine, he gets it on countaback.

 

[Francois the Postman]

VdB puncture, bad luck mate! What a Tour ride so far.

Um...Did Sherwin actually just say the Samu Sanchez is not a good descender??

 

[Anonymous]

WTF is Schleck doing descending on his hoods? He looks like crud going down hill.

somthing has to be wrong i think

 

[Parrot23]

Bertie has been smart. Force Andy to bear burden on climb, and on the descent LOL, waiting for fellow Spaniard Sanchez to join. Force Andy to assume the burden.

Nah, Liggett

 

[Cerberus]

Could be as simple as fatigue from the Giro, he showed a bit of weakness IMO on Sunday and that wasn't a very selective stage.

Yes. He got shelled.

 

[Cobblestones]

Oboy, I watched the ascent and now try to catch up with the racing thread. One word:

EPIC

 

[Wergeland]

Sanchez 34 behind Schleck/Conta. The guys are going good. Sanchez might not catch them.

 

[Parrot23]

Prob. accumulated fatigue from Giro. Drained to start the Tour maybe.

 

[Jukebox]

Schleck is descending like his brother. Sanchez should catch them

Tha't what the guys on the Rai said in Italiano - if I heard right

 

[Mellow Velo]

Ugh, Schleck's descending.
