Tour de France Stage 2 (3/7/11) - Les Essarts 23km TTT

[MartinGT]

ouch sad for evans

TBH I dont think Evans will be that fussed. Having the yellow so early on will weigh heavy on the team.

 

[bikeit]

Great ride BMC, happy Cadel doesnt have the weight of the yellow on his shoulders, could ruin his 'relaxed' attitude of late

 

[Libertine Seguros]

This is just about perfect for Evans though as he doesn't need to toast his fragile domestique group, but is as close as damnit to leading.

 

[LukeSchmid]

Perfect TTT by BMC, went as fast as they could without Evans getting yellow. He doesn't need it yet.

 

[Bavarianrider]

Evans will take yellow on the Mur anyway so no reason to be disapointed.

 

[Maxiton]

BMC great. Glad Evans won't have yellow now. Yellow is a burden this early.

 

[Gloin22]

The wind played big parts for the last starting teams.

 

[cineteq]

Oh my god, 1 second short hahahahaha. So unlucky.

Don't feel sorry for him, he just put more time on Contador!

 

[Delicato]

Evans gonna wear yellow after stage 4, barring incident.

 

[Jamsque]

Well I guess BMC really are better than Rabobank. Who'da thunk it?

I think this is great for Evans, strong though they look his team are not good enough to defend yellow from here to Paris. He's in a great GC position now, he will be tempted to take the jersey on Tuesday but if he's smart he'll hold off for a while.

Great ride by cuddles!

Yep. More time on AC. End of.

Absolutely right.

This, I'm 100% sure of it.

 

[c&cfan]

He'll have to get much better on the rest days, I guess.

like i said, he is better than cadel in everything besides sprinting, blame cadel for his own lack of competence.

Yeah JVDB is lucky there

 

[fujitourer]

I betted my money on sky winning. I was close. still I also betted on lotto outperforming bmc and that will happen for sure

Really? I'm not so sure.

This is looking pretty dumb around now.

 

[Reuell]

Changed winds influenced the result here greatly!
Too bad

 

[clydesdale]

Does anybody honestly care who is in yellow after today? All of the favorites have to be thrilled that they have an extra 20 or 25 seconds on AC. Doesn't Cadel have 1:44 or some such thing on him now? Schleck has around the same. This could make the mountain stages awesome, Contador will attack on all of them!

 

[Kwibus]

Very strong performance by BMC. I'm sure our BMC fanboys will be full of joy today.

Specially ACF.. after T-A he thought his bet that BMC would beat Rabo today was foolish, but he was right afterall

 

[Andy99]

Where is ACF anyhow?

 

[Bavarianrider]

Stfu. Enough is enough.

Lack of history knowledge?

 

[Simply The Best]

Best possible result for cadel as his team doesn't need to control the peloton over the coming stages

 

[Epicycle]

Good for Hushovd. Good for JV too, keeps Thor from grumbling.

Wasn't his only other yellow jersey the one he wore on the stage he got cut by the spectator's cardboard hand?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

I don't want ACF on here now. His parade of BMC beating Rabobank is too much to handle.

Not to mention he will disregard the wind factor
