Tour de France Stage 3 Wanze - Arenberg Porte du Hainaut, 207km

[stjohnswell]

Chavanels yellow & green bike flung into the hedge. He wont be needing that tomorrow.

 

[Beech Mtn]

Dim should be here for Geraint's big day

 

[palmerq]

Mad prop to hesj

yes great work from hesjedal.... very good ride from him today... shame he won't win it...

 

[Publicus]

Psychologically, AC just won the Tour.

 

[Parrot23]

Evans must hurt Armstrong here. Needs any gaps vis podium chances.

 

[Big GMaC]

i AM GIVING ARMSTRONG SO PROPS, HE HAS BALL

Caps...

 

[balkou]

Even Samuel sanchez in in front of Lance...

 

[VeloCity]

But Contador was losing time to him today. If it was fair he would go into the mountains with a little gap.

Maybe they should wait for him.

I'm saying that the time Armstrong loses today is probably negligible compared to what he will probably lose in the mountains.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Armstrong alone, eating dust.
So, where are the all powerful Shack?

No, he isn't losing time. He is gaining time. And that my friend is poetic justice.

Cadel takes a pull

Is that really worth posting

 

[Sneekes]

I thought Contador bridged at the same point as the puncture happened.

at least he won over armstrong today.

5 km to go, the fire alarm goes off in my building. i'm staying inside, hopefully false alarm.

No the Armstrong group was ahead before the puncture. You can celebrate a puncture if you want but at least get the facts straight.

No, Armstrong punctured after Contador had join his group. Contador went from wiggans group to the armstrong group, then armstrong punctured

Vino is there - looking strong. Could've sworn I saw Iglinsky's mullet flapping earlier in this group

No, they weren't - the Contador group caught the Armstrong group, then almost immediately Armstrong punctured.

Not according to Eurosport commentary. They've just changed it.

Sad to see the GC decided by a punture. I suppose you guys will love that though.

Are you sad that Frank Schleck is out from a crash? Would you be sad if Contador had punctured?

 

[Mellow Velo]

Lance @ 1'-50"................

 

[Parrot23]

Was Lance drafting on his team car?

 

[sadfitty]

Armstrong drafting bigtime, referee's car had to stop the RS car

 

[franciep10]

Armstrong did put time into Contador.

Real fans like to see this decidedly fairly, not by unlucky punctures.

listen junior contador bridged to armstrong group then armstrong punctured no Ill will

It's not Chavanels day

Yea, sucks really. He is a great rider and deserves more than one day in yellow.

 

[Goldberger]

armstrong back to a group?
