Tour de France Stage 2 Brussels - Spa, 192 km Monday, July 5 2010

[The Sheep]

Who was that AG2R? He's my new hero

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Maxime Bouet ruins the day

 

[luckyboy]

Sylvain in yellow by 3.08 ish

Sean Kelly suggesting that somehow the stage might be nullified in terms of GC :/

 

[El Imbatido]

Ha ha.......Laurens Ten Dam tweet about the peloton waiting:

"Do they wait on Rabobank tomorrow too?"

Lots of confidence in his own team

 

[palmerq]

Having half the contenders out of contention because of a crash on the second stage isn't what I'd consider interesting.

You'll get you wish and Chavanel though.

it is interesting :S.... it's not fair but it would make things very interesting.... although I am hoping for a good performance from franck so I am a bit glad he's got back there... I think i mean the crash is bad and it would have been better without it because i think this stage could have been really good but there was the crash and now we get nothing really :S... they crashed it didnt make any gaps and no big fight for the stage win either.

 

[PhiberAwptik]

I think everyone is missing the point about the motor bike being involved in the crash. If circumstances were different then we might see otherwise. But feel free to armchair quarterback from your lofty all knowing positions on the CN forums.

 

[Publicus]

Spartacus is the new Boss... Clearly.

That much is very clear.

 

[Potomac]

I pity all the fans that staked out prime seats at the finish.

 

[goggalor]

****, I hate this race and I hate these ****ing riders. **** 'em all, especially "Spartacus".

Le Tour est morte.

 

[Teddler]

Just lost heaps of respect for the tour and the riders in it.

ooh its a little bit wet and slippery and narrow, can't have that, lets have a sook

That finish is why the Giro is so much better

 

[Anonymous]

I think the current "Patron" is Mr Cancellara who was on the front and he was threatening to cast lightning bolts down on anyone who'd dare attack....

Yea, all he had to do was hook up the the battery in his seat tube and he could shock the hell out of anyone!

 

[Tom T.]

What a bunch of babies! It's a f**king bike race! Aren't these some of the same roads ridden in April in LBL? Now all of a sudden they're unsafe. FU Fabian.

 

[Lance Armstrong]

We'll need photo-finish to see who's in top10!

 

[ak-zaaf]

Le Tour est morte.

...Vive Le Tour!


What a disgrace.

 

[theyoungest]

They obviously weren't fond of the stage, riding en masse across the line

Ya think? blablabla length requirements

 

[bigloco]

Spartacus is the new Boss... Clearly.

I'm thinking so too...and rightly so IMO!

 

[sadfitty]

F***ING p**ies!

What's next? The descents are too dangerous, so the Pyrenees should be neutralized?

 

[auscyclefan94]

Boo Cancellara!

NO neutralisation. FC is only complaining because his team mate crashed. I guess they should neutralise tommorrow as well. If they neutralise the stage the tour has become a joke!

 

[bobs nob]

what is on...

what is on lance's twitter? has he tried to say that he was in charge of the neutralization yet?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

If they neutralise it completely it's a joke, since Chavanel was way up the road before the crashes anyway.

 

[goggalor]

Today showed us the difference between the Tour and the Giro: When, God forbid, something exciting happens in the Tour, it takes 20 minutes before everything is back to normal again. "Normal" being the peloton soft pedaling in protest to the finish because something (almost) happened GC-wise on a non mountain stage.

 

[kjetilraknerud]

Cavendish strikes lucky in the green jersey competition...

 

[bigloco]

Ya think? blablabla length requirements

In my defense, I wrote that about 1k from the end with my slow feed

Ha ha.......Laurens Ten Dam tweet about the peloton waiting:

Lots of confidence in his own team

No, a lack of confidence in Armstrong, who doesn't care if anyone falls behind through no fault of their own.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

what is on lance's twitter? has he tried to say that he was in charge of the neutralization yet?

It would be difficult for him to claim that when it was clear that José Iván Gutiérrez and Fabian Cancellara were already organising it while he was over a minute back.
