Tour de France Stage 5: Carhaix - Cap Fréhel 164.5 km

[No_Balls]

It took a long chase and a Cofidis (should be invited for the Tour for the next 10 years) car to get back 40 seconds, after that Leopard gave up.

The intention was there. We have official confirmation they have double standards.

They have had since Canc neutralized for Baby, crying out for sportmanship and yet always ready to take advantage over others misfortune.

I disagree. Maybe Leopard made it a touch more difficult than it needed to be, they didn't go full power. I don't think they did anything wrong.

Contador has got to stop messing around in the back half of the peloton. Get to the front and stay there, especially if there are crosswinds coming.

He wasn't in the back. Watch the race before you comment.

 

[Lanark]

As far as I could tell, Garmin was the only team riding on the front during and after all the crashes, the Leopard guys were just sitting behind them.

Where was the sportmanship when Schleck dropped his chain? I would freaking do it aswell if I would get backstabbed like that.

You're forgetting that dropping a chain is 100% rider error while a crash is clearly the fault of the bike

Nikki Sorensen down.

 

[sportzchick]

Sorresen(sp?) is down

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Another fall. Nicki Sorensen down.

 

[No_Balls]

Problem is; what’s the point? Its not like they’re going for a stage win today.

Their double standards is my main point.

 

[Ney the Viking]

OMG! MC taking Nicky down AND dragging his bike along, wth!

Marco Pinotti just tweeted:

Saronni on Italian tv: "In a GT we know how it is in the last few years. After the first week we count the dead and wonded and start over"

real shame for Jan, really wanted him and Klodi to be the top RS riders

 

[spalco]

That looked horrible. Hope Sorensen is ok.

 

[Jamsque]

Garmin are pushing very hard right now, we could see echelons soon.

 

[Wergeland]

Saxo again. Motorcycle running over Sørensen.

 

[BYOP88]

riding to close to the motorbike, ouch.

 

[Benneth]

Sorenson down and nearly takes out a small child.

So many crashes today what is happening?

 

[craig1985]

Another fall. Nicki Sorensen down.

He was pretty lucky there.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Contador looked very frustrated when he crashed. He can't afford to mess around like that, he should have been focused on getting going again as fast as possible.

ir was Bjarne Riis that gave the bike the shove to get AC back on the way
- according to the Rai.

Yeah!!!!!!! No more crashes please though!

 

[sublimit]

Lots of people getting very angry at Leopard for doing nothing at all, they didn't accelerate after Contador went down or he wouldn't have caught back up so quickly.

We probably won't know if there are relegations at the intermediate sprint for ages, the Cav/Thor announcement didn't happen until three hours after the finish.

Didnt't seem much wrong in the sprint, Cav not happy but I dont know why this time.
