I think i saw Landa breathe.

That sprint stage yesterday was way more entertaining than this crap.

Re: Re:

Absolutely brutal pace, no-one able to attack.

I know, right? Roberto Heras is killing it. Lance was smart to bring him into the team.

You mean Beltran?

I meant Heras ca. 2001-2003, but a Beltran reference would have been equally appropriate.

Heras is Landa

 

[spalco]

Haha, was that motorcycle aiming for the fan on the road?

 

[Brullnux]

That's ***. This whole thing is ***.

 

[Gloin22]

Embarrassment continues

 

[King Boonen]

String snapped. Bye bye Berto.

People talk about how strong Sky's domestiques are but they've never hired existing Grand Tour winners as super-doms they way USPS did with Heras and Savoldelli.

Nieve's really underrated as a teammate I think. He's been doing this for years now. Never seems to complain or make a fuss, just a very talented and very reliable domestique. Yet doesn't get the same plaudits as the likes of Landa, Poels or Thomas.

 

[Highlander]

Contador can possibly get back on with the descent, but he'll be dropped again shortly on the final climb.

 

[DFA123]

Quintana v Contador. Who will win the battle of the fallen giants today?

Spellchecking is not my strong side :redface:

 

[vedrafjord]

TG4 commentators were saying Contador was looking surprisingly good today, five seconds later he was dropped.

He has that awesome win last year at the Giro. And in 2011

 

[Jspear]

This is terrible...one of the few days I could watch a stage live and it's this...

Yep great rider, pure and simple.

Well he was looking good compared to last days :lol:

Wheres Kittel?

 

[woodburn]

It's like a sprint train for Froome up a mountain.

He likes to come from behind :razz:
