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

[hrotha]

Contador is certainly having more crashes and mechanical problems this week than during his whole career. As long as he isn't hurt, it's pretty funny.

 

[Publicus]

Touch of wheels. His fault. He looks fine, but listening to commentators bemoan his team or his bad luck is getting old.

 

[sportzchick]

they wont its very unsportsmanlike.

its called giving your rider their best chance - only a chump would give their greatest rival an even break

besides sportsmanship in cycling went out when riders starting doping....

Cadel's problem is he hasnt been ruthless enough

As long as AC is not hurt its fair game

indeed. up until this week i couldn't remember of a time where he had a mechanical or a fall and now this week is pretty much everyday several times a day . . .

Where tf is the team, Tosatto and Noval go back

 

[craig1985]

There we are, two teammates for Bertie.

if BMC do this, imagine what others would do if evans has a problem. anyway theres still 100km left in the stage it would be rather idiotic.

Happened every GT. It's just getting more focus this year.

 

[Gingerale]

contador is fine.

but i don't like it

geez, kirby is more excitable than versus commentators. i forgot. giro he was continually expecting conti fail.

get up there and fight bertie!

 

[Zoncolan]

Now a bike change for AC.

 

[HL2037]

And why was he alone in the side of a narrow road in the first place? I am so mad on Saxo right now.

ha - half the peleton is as anti Cadel as this stupid forum....they do it regardless. Remember Cancellara giving him hell when he dared to attack last time

Like I said - sportsmanship went out the windown in cycling when riders started doping

when was that?? yes but eventhough some them dislike cadel. they wont ramp up the pace of the peloton when he has a mechanical or crashed. there is still some respect left in this sport.

 

[King Of The Wolds]

Eurosport seem to think its a certainty that podium will consist of Schleck Contador and Evans.

The 3rd guy (not Backsted or Richardson) then neglects to mention the Vuelta when asked to explain who Peter Velits is

Malcolm Elliott. He should have mentioned the Vuelta - he won the points jersey in it, back in the 80s.

Whilst it's not nice to see another DNF, you lot have got to get over this man love for Amets. He'd have done absolutely nothing, yet again.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

high caliber break today ... but they haven't got much lead

 

[The Hitch]

Now a bike change for AC.

It worked on Etna and Grossglockner.

ha - half the peleton is as anti Cadel as this stupid forum....they do it regardless. Remember Cancellara giving him hell when he dared to attack last time

Like I said - sportsmanship went out the windown in cycling when riders started doping

But good ol Cadel didnt. He fights the good fight against immorality.

Riders have been doping in cycling from the very start.

oh that means cycling has always been without sportsmanship? :facepalm:

 

[Gingerale]

thor, please let tommy V. have yellow

i like breaks succeeding.

Cuddles retrospective over there --------->

 

[YoRUsh]

I think the main reason that many people on this forum is anti-Cadel is because of the over-the-top fans of Evans.

 

[sportzchick]

It worked on Etna and Grossglockner.

Ive never seen him been accussed before so if you got some proof then my PM is always open

Just proved my point then doesnt it?
