Tour De France 2014 Stage 5: Ypres - Arenberg Porte du Hainaut

[Skippos]

Had 20 each way on Boom before the day. Hoping it gets up.

 

[Skippos]

How good is this from Lemoine too, a relative insignificant for this stage with no cobbles highlights ever and then pulls off a top 10.

 

[monty1104]

Are there 10 mountain finishes for him to get it back? I'm not so sure

No, but Contador will make back a fair bit on the time trial. He is a far better time trial rider than Nibali.

 

[Skippos]

reckon boom went too early given the tt prowess of these two and two bodies > one.

He'd probably have won the sprint.

 

[blue gunslinger]

Don't get me wrong, he is very good, but Contador just has that extra kick to get 10sec here and there on the summit finishes.

Long way to go Nibali is primed rested and motivated

No, but Contador will make back a fair bit on the time trial. He is a far better time trial rider than Nibali.

I'll bet you my avatar that Nibali will finish ahead of Contador on stage 20.

What was he paying?

 

[blue gunslinger]

Highlights can not do today justice

I think Boom will get it.

17.00

Very hard to call it this early tbh. It all depends on whether or not the yellow jersey is riding on the results.

 

[Skippos]

Yeah Boom should have it now, Astana fellas look a little weary. Good ride.

 

[blue gunslinger]

Froome will never be seen again

 

[Hamingja]

Contador gone full black face.

Enjoy teh monies.

Yeah, good point.

I still think Nibali is the better time triallist though, especially over long distances. I'd have him top 20 in the world whereas Contador only top 30-40

#ol Skool

 

[Skippos]

Enjoy teh monies.

It's not as much as it sounds as I also had money on Kristoff, Haussler and Van Avermaet

 

[Andronicus]

Froome will never be seen again

What makes you say that?

What makes you say that?

Wait and see - will lose plenty of standing

 

[Mister B]

Phwaar. I'm exhausted and all i did was sit and watch on a couch.

 

[Andronicus]

Wait and see - will lose plenty of standing

Not the one to fight when things are against him?

 

[Forward Press]

So Contador drops 2:30ish. Makes the Tour even more interesting. Drama!

 

[blue gunslinger]

Exactly and sky like winners

 

[blue gunslinger]

Kenyans are great marathon runners
