No Contador was part of a big group. Armstrong had to ride completely by himself to get back to a group. Definitely the ride of the day.

Ok man it was the ride of the day, are you satisfied? Spare us now!

Uncool by Vino. Maybe we do have a controversy in Astana. AC mechanical. I was thinking maybe he was weak. Clearly no the case.

Ryder deserved to win that stage...oh well.

Rear mech or wheel.

Only lost about 20s

Nope, not the ride of the day. Not even close. Only a homer or BPC would say such a stupid thing.

I don't think he was aware AC was left behind.

You don't know much about cycling beyond Armstrong, do you?

If you want a real ride of the day, look at Andy Schleck and Cadel Evans. That was a ride.

I wouldn't jump to any conclusions about controversy. He may have simply been burying himself and not known. Don't see what advantage he gains by driving w/o Contador. Not like he was in contention after his performance in the prologue.

The Shack really showed that they have the strongest team this year, the way they destroyed Astana was most impressive.

Yes like crashing is part of the game. But it's not fair, obviously.

Wouldn't you rather Armsrtong is beaten fairly?

He was beaten fairly. And in the mountains, he will be beaten even more fairly in the mountains BPC.
