Tour de France 2011 STAGE 20 - Grenoble 42.5 km ITT

Has ACF had a coronary and been admitted to hospital?
Where's he at, at this momentous time?

 

[Chef_Vodnik]

F Schleck not all that bad, 2:40 to Martin on this parcours is not that terrible.

It's still way off to ever win a GT, mind you. But at least he's shown here he's not that terrible a chrono rider on the third week - right where you would expect a skinny climber to be.

Well it's all over now... Feeling bad for Contador, so much bad luck this tour and tired legs = a tough time for him. But he showed a lot of heart, great ride yesterday!! But no luck.. Still he took his beatings without any complaints, got to give him a lot of credit for that.

Evans - congrats! I was hoping he'd win over Andy, he has ridden very smartly this tour and shown amazing strength.

Andy - feeling a little bad for him today but he could have won this! What was he doing the whole race?

Cuddles ITT time
Dauphine: 56,48
Tour: 55,40

It makes sense... No comparison

 

[davestoller]

Don't count on it.

P&P now call them "great losers." For once, we agree.

not holding my breath on this

we'll see

A C F where are you?

 

[SirLes]

Is the anything worse in sport than wearing the yellow jersey in the final "real" stage but knowing that you're not going to win?

 

[sashimono]

That only applies to French riders.

Voeckler obvioulsy sucked all the magic out of the yellow jersey and left Andy a piece of cloth.

 

[Zoncolan]

Did Liggett just say this?

"You have to have great losers, and these two are the best."

Awesome! LMFAO

Celebrating in front of his TV instead of posting on an internet forum I hope. If I was an Evans fan like him, I wouldn't be posting now either.

 

[luckyboy]

I wonder if Andy will say they shouldn't have these dangerous descents in TTs

 

[Benotti69]

A C F where are you?

cleaning himself i imagine

yeah, that really blows

TV smashes Andy in a TT

 

[Maxiton]

oh gag me! did they?

They honestly did. Where they are, prostitution is legal.

 

[Ferminal]

Would have actually been close if Evans do a ridiculously good ride. Solid enough by Andy. Evans only just wins if he held the same margin to Tony as the Dauphine.

 

[pedaling squares]

The Schlecks were not actually all THAT bad, just that so much was on the line and Cadel was simply out of his head.

 

[jsem94]

Cadel, finally he gets to win a GT.

 

[meandmygitane]

Congratulations Cadel, well deserved.

Poor Andy, second place two years in a row and after his raid on the queen-stage he doesn't win, oh well that is sports.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

AC humanised

AS humiliated

Cadel - beast becomes human!

 

[Granville57]

Was thinking the same. It's one thing to lose, it's another to have to hand over the Yellow Jersey after having it.

Phonak 06 flashbacks...

 

[BYOP88]

YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!! Eat that Schlecks and Leotard-Shrek!!! You've won none of the races you said you'd win!!!!

CADEL EVANS IS THE MAN!!!!

 

[davestoller]

They honestly did. Where they are, prostitution is legal.

and the thing is, Phil has been the biggest fanboy for Evns forever

has been saying Cadel would win the tour since his mnt bike days
dont get the love for the Schlecks, just dont get it
at all

Voeckler beating Contador in a Grand Tours.
Just brilliant!
