Tour de France: Prologue - Rotterdam - 8.9km

What's going on with Contador???

Nothing. He's a 136 pound climber. He did great for the course. Lance rode a great race, the course favored him more than it did Contador. Much more so.

And folks thought I was kidding when I said that Armstrong would beat him by a few seconds earlier this week.

Great time for Contador. Nothing about this course suited him and he gave up 4 or 5 seconds to Armstrong (who I thought the course favored more).

+1.

And probably need to go to the clinic for my other thoughts on the stage.

Great ride by Canc, but sorry for Martin. I was kinda hoping he could get yellow after holding on so long.

Hidden Motor

The "motor" has won again!!!! Take it suckers!!! Heil Spartacus.

I feel like hanging myself! lance did well and cadel was average. I feel like putting a gun to my head!

 

[armstrong]

Canc is a machine, just like the motorized bike he's riding...

 

[Publicus]

No course suits Armstrong over Contador. Lance is 38.

Pretty sure we are saying the same thing, no?

 

[sublimit]

Ligget hacks me off. Complete biased rubbish commentery. So back to the Eurosport coverage tomorrow methinks.

Well seems as you like Evans if you did that you'd probably miss

as i recall you said it was so stupid and unprobable, you couldnt keep it up without laughing.

Cadel still beat Basso. It's a different deal for guys who rode the whole Giro to contest for the pink jersey.

 

[Publicus]

Yes. Namely to ask what he has this year that he didnt have last year, considering last year was clinic time as well.

There was a Cat 4 in the middle of the opening TT last year. It was pancake flat this year. Armstrong puts out more watts than Contador. Impressive ride by Armstrong, but I am much more impressed by Contador under the circumstances.

 

[The Hitch]

ah now the bit were cancellara comes out to take the yellow, then the stage, then the green, then the polka dot.

The comments I was making in that response post, yes. But I thought the course favored pure power TT's, which Contador is not.

Same thoughts here.

You are one of the worst homers I have ever seen. I am not sure I have ever seen a Lance fan as overboard as are you. Chill out man, Cuddles isn't going to win. He isn't going to come close to winning. Get used to the idea, and you will be much happier in the next 3 weeks.

Wigans must be feeling pretty bad....

Brailsfor totally planned everything

 

[ingsve]

So Geraint Thomas won't get to put on his British nationals jersey yet. Since Spartacus is in yellow then Martin will be in green and Thomas will be in white.

 

[Señor_Contador]

Good job to Cancellara.

Good days to be an Armstrong fan.

What's going on with Contador? Well, for one, because the ***-Kissing Duet (Liggett & Sherwin) sure make it seem there's an actual fight taking place, Alberto knows the TdF is to be won on the last 2 weeks.

The pain will only getting worse Lance...

 

[armstrong]

>The pain will only getting worse Lance...

Agreed. Doing this at 38 is painful.

 

[Cervelo77]

A. Schleck lost pretty big time today. He can't be happy with his ride.

lmao, ssdd.

I feel the same way dude.

Why on earth have Liggett and Sherwin sold out in such an absurd manner?

 

[auscyclefan94]

..

Lets hope he can improve! Anyway, is there an over 35 jersey for LA?

 

[Cobblestones]

Great ride by Contador. He put time in every contender!
