Tour de France 2011 Stage 7: Le Mans - Châteauroux 218 km

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Surely Garmin will go for green with Hushovd now? Get him in a break on a mountain stage like he did the other year..

They're not going to give up on Farrar in the 3 remaining sprints, and even if they did Thor can't break the top 5 on a fast sprint any more. Garmin are not a credible part of the green jersey contest anymore.

It's not all over for Shack, they have Klöden in good position

And Leipheimer and Horner can attack early in the mountains to put pressure on the rest.

Tomorrow Cav will beat Rojas in the intermediate, and neither will get anything in the finish.

Sunday Rojas will make the intermediate and Cav won't, but I don't like his chances on that last km.

Tuesday & Wednesday I have booked down as Cav wins.

but you forgot Gilbert, that will take the point at the finish already tomorrow

Heh, Carlton Kirby's tip for today finished 12'41" down (Steegmans).

 

[Franklin]

he is in contention with cipo. let's way, he is still so young. by his age alejet had 0major wins.
.

And another one just makes up facts because he's a fanboy

Mario:57 stages in GT's
Allesandro 48 stages in GT's (and lost an extra 5 due to Salbutamol)

Chris Horner is home at 12.41 along with 5 others.

So sad... this looked like the old guy's year to give it one last shot with some good support.

 

[Parrulo]

so what contenders are still in the race?

contador, the schlecks, basso, samu, evans, gesink, kloden, roche, cunego, . . . more names?

 

[on3m@n@rmy]

horner in the hospital.

What!? Horner is out?

And another one just makes up facts because he's a fanboy

Mario:57 stages in GT's

And how many did he win due to Salbutamol?

Take your trolling elsewhere.

Comfortably the best sprinter in the world 4 years running allows you to discuss GOAT status, whether you dislike him or not.

I troll when I call out someone who claims Mark is already the best sprinter ever?

Get a grip.

 

[ferryman]

you were rude and unfair.

someone said something outrageous like put a train for greipel and he smokes anyone. that's a lie. put htc for greipel and cav in greipel's wheel and he will smoke him like he does.

the train does not make him faster or with better acceleration.

cav wins because he is the best. today it was easy.

And you are obviously trolling with your over the top Cav love in. You can still recognise good in other riders you know instead of dismissing them in the wake of your loved one.

Taaramae, Coppel, Karpets

cav has overtaken thor already. like he said, he's not in contention for the green this year, especially against cav.

They're not going to give up on Farrar in the 3 remaining sprints, and even if they did Thor can't break the top 5 on a fast sprint any more. Garmin are not a credible part of the green jersey contest anymore.

 

[Kwibus]

What!? Horner is out?

Not yet.., but I'm really dissapointed about this. I was so looking forward to the mountains to see how he would do. Damn.

 

[Frosty]

A cruel sport sometimes. Hopefully he'll be back next year.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

but you forgot Gilbert, that will take the point at the finish already tomorrow

A reduced points finish, and then take next to nothing on the 3/4 remaining sprints.

Cav is on course to score in the region of 370 points this year, and I can't see anyone else likely to top 320.

did you even read the guys post?

he said by cavendish's age ale jet had no major wins(he means GT wins i think)

 

[patrick767]

You'd think, but like I said, I'm not convinced Vaughters will finally pull his head out of his rear end and do it.

 

[RdBiker]

so what contenders are still in the race?

contador, the schlecks, basso, samu, evans, gesink, kloden, roche, cunego, . . . more names?

It's looking more and more like a three-way-race: Contador, A.Schleck and Evans. If Schleck isn't in form it's just Contador vs. Evans

you were rude and wrong. in fact, your post makes you very stupid.

at 26, ale jet had 0 major wins.

seriously...

you insulted me,
you are wrong.

what does it take to ban this guy?

 

[funnytanlines]

"more then a checkup" they said

What!? Horner is out?

Ya I see Horner finished it out. Good, cuz Klodi was my top choice for a GC leader for Shack anyway.

Comfortably the best sprinter in the world 4 years running allows you to discuss GOAT status, whether you dislike him or not.

It's pointless to argue over it though since Cavendish is still so young (comparatively). It's questionable now, in a couple years maybe it's undisputed.

Leipheimer and attack in the same sentence. That's funny stuff. Good one.

he says by cavendish's age ale jet had no major wins.

So what? Sorry, are we counting "future wins" at Cav's Palmares?
