Paul Sherwin to spend at least 10 minutes every stage telling us all how David Moncoutie always rides at the back of the peloton because he is uneasy in heavy traffic.
BMC Racing is an American team named after the Swiss bicycle frame manufacturer BMC... they are not the Garmin Slipstream team.
Cadel has signed with BMC.
This stage was symbolic of Cadel's career so far.
Had his rival on the ropes but could not lose him, eventually cracking himself and losing time. A huge opportunity missed.
His lack of speed in the mountains means he is unable to make any time on top GC rivals, nor is he able to close up...
Since when did a time bonus become a time "bonification".
Matt Keenan was using this made up word constantly at the end of last night's stage as Gesink was looking to get a further 8 seconds for third.
Driving me mad at the end.
Looked like a bad crash, especially in slow motion when you see riders hitting the ground then bouncing off the concrete gutters at speed.
Nasty.
Was anybody seriously hurt?
The penultimate stage is always the last one for me, I find the ride into Paris a bit of a wank to be perfectly honest.
The tour is over and there was no doubt in my mind Cav was going to win this stage. The gulf between him and the other sprinters this tour has been immense. Columbia have...
Andy Schleck was incredible last night and would have won the stage had he not intentionally sat up to try and help his brother onto the podium.
His attacks were fierce and relentless and he broke pretty much all the GC riders except for Contador... and even he looked to be struggling at...
I think everyone on the Cycling board knows who the fool is... your posts show just how little you understand the sport.
I've explained the stage ending so a 5 year old can understand it, but you clearly don't have the intelligence or emotional maturity of a 5 year old.
Come back when you...
Contador vs Andy Schleck vs Armstrong next year should be a cracking race... assuming Lance can maintain his performance level for another year and build a competitive team with Johan.
Still, hard to see a 38 year old bloke matching it with two guns heading into the prime of their careers.
* Sigh *
Its like trying to explain something to a 5 year old.
Armstrong missed the initial attack by the Schleck brothers, the same attack that broke Wiggins. Astana already had their team leader and his wing man (ie Contador & Kloden) with them so Armstrong would have been under orders not...
Cadel has officially spat the dummy and is riding like the petulant twat he really is. He seems like a team man only as long as they are riding for him.
If you couldn't see Lance was marking Wiggins then you really have no clue. The attack at the top of the final climb show how good his legs...
Columbia flex their muscle for the second day in a row. Absolutely amazing effort to split the peloton and gap them by 40 seconds in the final 15kms. Awesome.
Armstrong was smart, Contador complacent, and Cadel was incredibly stupid to not be in position to get onto a break of twenty odd...
It was scary how easily Columbia setup the Cavendish win last night. Coming around the long left hander inside the final kilometer Columbia had two lead out riders in front of Cavendish and they were still dropping everyone around them.
Awesome team performance, and if they stay healthy they...
Just buy a tivo, they have dual digital tuners so you can record both and skip through ads. Alternatively you can channel surf but pause one channel before you change to the other.
I'd imagine the team would still exist, they would just be without their naming rights sponsor (ie Astana) financially backing the team.
I'd be willing to bet my house(s) alternative short term sponsors could be found very quickly, especially in the year Armstrong returns to the TDF. The...
Paddy Agnew on the SBS morning update show is shocking to listen to, not only does he describe the race poorly but his accent gets stronger and quicker the more excited he gets. At times I have absolutely no idea what he is saying.
Surely SBS can source Phil and Paul commentary highlights from...
Boonen deserved the victory, but geez he was handed the race on a platter when both Flecha and Horshovd crashed at the end.
Felt for Hincapie though, was in a great position until that puncture ruined his race... had to expel too much energy to get back to the pack.
Anyone know how badly hurt...
Very very sad, but not entirely unexpected. Some people unfortunately are just not able to cope with the stresses and adversity that life inevitably throws up.
Because he was a drug cheat. Because he was a violent alcoholic. Because he beat up his coach. Because he beat up his parents...
