Tour de France 2011 STAGE 20 - Grenoble 42.5 km ITT

[sulgpallur]

Would think people watching TdF would know the norwegian flag by now.

red and blue cross, but its got little bit of white also after i checked the flag

 

[hrotha]

Porte can't climb.

He should be able to climb well enough to help a little when the bunch still has, say, 40-50 people. He was nowhere to be seen, probably saving energy for today. Truth be told, at times it looked like Saxo sucked AND were saving energy.

 

[The Sheep]

De Gendt 25 seconds faster than Porte.

Oh my

Yet you can't place a bet on him on betfair

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

That Colnago is nice

I was just about to say the opposite! I'm bummed that Colnago decided to go the route of sourcing cheap frames from China.

 

[The Hitch]

Where was Porte with this form the last 10 days?

He didnt get a 12 minute breakaway

 

[Publicus]

He would lose. He needs to open his mouth to gulp in all that air which he uses as fuel for his engine

He keeps his mouth open like a big mouth bass, but I guess he gets the results, so that's what matters.

 

[luckyboy]

Yeay Chavanel

 

[Barracuda]

Ok ...its the 29 minute mark of the 4th quarter at the MCG on that one day in September .... your team is 5 points down and you have marked the ball on the 50 metre line on a slight angle ..now think ..... Cadel Evans is in this same position tonight on the international stage ......... Kick it straight through the big uprights Cadel !!!!!!!!!

 

[Dutchsmurf]

Apparently Cancellara was unable to see the track before riding it, because they arrived far too late at the start for that. Might mean Andy has yet to see it too.

The colours looked good on the bike anyway.


Moncoutie preparing to dominate today

 

[Maxiton]

Actually he some sort of device and was blowing air or liquid in Contador's face. Folks should have remembered AC swinging on those guys on Verbier who got too close. He's not one to be trifled with when he's on the bike.

God. Even more obnoxious. No wonder he got a fist in the face. That avatar comes back just as soon as Cadel's victory party winds down.

Agreed. But what really bums me out is Italy's loose rules regarding that stuff: If it's painted or decaled in Italy, they're allowed to call it "Made in Italy." Which means, that everything bearing the made in Italy sticker (for which you pay a premium) is suspect.

Andy hasn't seen it. He saw it on TV, he said.

 

[The Hitch]

Chapeau to Richie for what he said.

Asked how great beating Cancellara was, he said that the course didnt suit Cancellara that Cancellara did a lot of work in the mountains, and he didnt, so it didnt mean that much.

What grace class.

Looks like Contadors class rubs off on all of Saxo.

 

[Maxiton]

BTW, in case you're wondering:my avatar is baby Cadel, catching some air on his little bike.

 

[Dutchsmurf]

Andy hasn't seen it. He saw it on TV, he said.

But planning to see it this morning, but maybe he didn't manage that.

 

[Amsterhammer]

Andy hasn't seen it. He saw it on TV, he said.

Dutch tv said that Andy and Frank had followed Spartacus by car as they had not ridden the parcours.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

De Gendt 1 second faster than Porte

 

[Mellow Velo]

De Gendt sets the fastest time: 57'-02"

De Gendt 1 second faster than Porte

Do you have a time machine?

 

[Grayguard]

Andy hasn't seen it. He saw it on TV, he said.

Hmm, danish TV said that Andy drove the route with the DS in the team car earlier today.

 

[Publicus]

De Gendt is killing it. Sorry. He pipped him. It looked like he was winning by 0'15" not 0'01"

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Why is Cancellara now shown to be second as the time De Gent beat?

 

[sulgpallur]

de gendt best at finish with 1sec

 

[cineteq]

De Gendt 1 second faster than Porte

All of the sudden he's become a GC rider, wow!!!

 

[AussieGoddess]

Andy hasn't seen it. He saw it on TV, he said.

Andy rode in the car behind cancellara. ... So he has seen it now

 

[The Hitch]

Who's better.

Samuel or Andy?

Better at what, tts? Is this a serious question
