Crashes and punctures said:That's why he'd have to climb better than he has this tour. He wasn't that far off on the climbs last year so we know he can do it.
Maybe he screwed up on how he lost weight or something - he looks down on power.
But you don't give up just yet.
davis_123 said:Time for cadel to drop out of the tour and focus on the world champs at the end of the year.
Timmy-loves-Rabo said:he might as well drop out. Though I'm not sure the wc can really be realistic goal this year. Course isn't for him.

rhubroma said:Well that would explain much if indeed true. Though he did finish well yesterday. Strange.
rhubroma said:Evans has serious problems. I mean if you can't take the heat, switch jobs!
How can one fail so miserably like that, over and over again? It is simply amazing how that guy poops his pants all the time.

BroDeal said:It turns out that Wigans was smart enough to bamboozle a huge contract out of Sky. Vaughters was smart enough to take a massive payoff to release Wigans contract. And Brailsford is the poor sucker who was taken for a fool. Both Vaughters and Wigans are probably laughing all the way to the bank.
RedZone said:not that strange, he did look like he was maxed out sunday, and its amazing what adrenalin can do for you in situations like that.
What I dont understand is the point of him saying this AFTER the stage yet again. Why not just come out with it, not like the end result would of changed anyway.
Galic Ho said:Hey F%#Ktard. You just disrespected every rider who has finished behind him in every race he's ridden. Show some bloody respect for the Pro's and STFU. Bag Cadel and you bag out everyone he beats, which accounts for 95% of the peloton. Those guys all bust their butts off, at least have the courtesy to remember that next time you feel like dissing a rider for having a bad day.
