Saxo and BMC and Liquigas looked the same as Shack, yet no comments.....

Watch the sales of Footon Kit sell like wildfire if Rafael Valls Ferri could catch Chavanel and get up for a win.

RS didn't get schooled. Plus Monday is blood bag day.

I have a feeling they will have to pull some magic to get away with that. I would think that this year, AFLD has some rest day plans.

Did you know

SYLVAIN CHAVANEL IS AN EXCEPTIONAL INDIVIDUAL TIME TRIALIST?

 

[balkou]

Because they don't go around spouting off about how they are the greatest stage race team in existence, run by the most brilliant DS to have ever existed...

That's cos nobody has been blowing hard about how they are so much stronger than the other teams.

Great job for Chavanel. Hope he gets yellow too.

Quick-Step are, clearly, the best team of Week 1.

Alas, you are mistaken my friend. Blood bag Monday is a tradition at the Tour.

Yea, I heard that and laughed. He won the French National TT championship. Isn't that like being 12th place in any other country?

Chavanel wins and should get yellow, very nice showing.

 

[superconfex]

yup.

i do appreciate the fact that they are putting a couple of mountain days before though. so often they have had a blood bag day just before any of the tough days.

anyway armstrong has the money and ferrari to get around anything afld can send at him. he will be getting topped off daily if he wants.

Fantastic showing by Quick Step. Chavanel and Pineau were spectacular.

Booya. Voeckler with a superb ride too.
