Tour de France 2011 Stage 9: Issoire - Saint-Flour 208 km

[Jamsque]

I'd love it if Evans ambushed the peloton and stole 10/15 seconds before the rest day.

The yapping and whining here is from Contador fanboys. About this incident, about how people are mean to him, about how those two American TV idiots don't give him enough respect, about just about everything. It's tedious.

What possible reason would Karpets have to risk his own race by deliberately throwing Contador into a ditch? Is it that you think he imagines he's in with a chance of winning the overall, if only he can get Alberto out of the way?

um, no it's not. I'm not an AC fan, but there's no doubt in my mind that he was flicked.

BMC, Leopard Trek, Saxo & any GC team will have to chase a bit to reduce the time deficit to Voeckler

Go Lulu Go!

 

[Ferminal]

Go Sandy!!!

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Gilbert will drill this.

 

[Moondance]

Lulu must win this.

 

[brollebol]

LuLu definitely, can't see him lose this

 

[Jamsque]

Lulu must win this.

Pretty embarrassing if he doesn't, he hasn't been in the wind for 30+km.

 

[Maxiton]

IF Contador got flicked, the other riders around should be able to attest... It certainly looks like it, but it is still possible that Karpets move was innocent.

OK, it is possible.

So, is BMC there just for show? Because they're not gaining any time on Voeckler, who is doing all the work.

just for show... worthless otherwise.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Lulu will win by several bike lengths, I expect.

 

[Ramira]

Flecha and Hoogerland win the combative award. I'm assuming this also means they won't need to come in on time either.

 

[Bala Verde]

Most combative for Flecha and Hoogerland....

 

[brollebol]

Most aggressive rider for Flecha and Hoogerland...

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

If Voeckler wins this, he will get a statue on the Champs.

 

[Gingerale]

here we go....in 1, 2, 3, 4......

ohhhh

 

[Ramira]

Sanchez wins.

 

[Jamsque]

Most aggressive rider for Flecha and Hoogerland...

Not much compensation really.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

LL Sanchez wins easily.

Whole year he has been ****. LOL.

 

[Ferminal]

lol, what a rubbish finish, well done LLS though.

 

[kjetilraknerud]

We have a new wheelsucker now, LLS

 

[Moondance]

Lulu easily.

Reward for doing jack squat all day. Chouchou rode on the front, mainly with Hoogerland while he was still whole, for nearly 5 1/2 hours.. At least he gets yellow, but he deserved the stage as well.

 

[Jamsque]

A victory for wheel-sucking.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

LLS winning sign - for a new born kid
