Mr. Brightside Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 What a stage! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Nomad Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Superb win for Rolland, White Jersey as well. Contador made the race, fantastic attacking riding today, just as Schleck was yesterday. Evans should win the Tour now, and probably without winning a stage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Lanarkshire Jag Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Andy Schleck 57 seconds clear of Evans going into the TT. Is it a big enough gap? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
interthenet jnr Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 It'd be good if Cavendish got docked another 20 points today... I really dislike the bumming of Cavendish and Team Sky by ITV4 it's just like the brown nosing Martin Brundell does of Hamilton and Button in F1. Same with the English media when the national side play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musketeer Gripweed Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I sometimes wonder if the Schleck's know wha they are doing. It's all well and good marking Evans on the early climbs, but they knew they had to take time out of him today. We saw when Evans attacked Andy could live with him, so why did he not make a move himself? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 (edited) 57 seconds between Andy and Evans? Might just be me, but Andy will be motivated and determined not to only be in yellow for the TT, I don't think he will loose as much time as people think. PS. I reckon they tour will be won and lost by no more than 15 seconds. Edited July 22, 2011 by Shuggie_Murray7 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two stages, hardly amazing! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

interthenet jnr Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Did Andy not lose something like a minute in a previous TT to Contador in the Tour? It's going to be squeaky bum time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Did Andy not lose something like a minute in a previous TT to Contador in the Tour? It's going to be squeaky bum time. Last year he only lost 31 seconds or something, which could be be something to do with it being more windy when Andy went. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Brightside Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 What happened to Evans on stage 19 last year? He finished 166th. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Lanarkshire Jag Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 What happened to Evans on stage 19 last year? He finished 166th. He suffered a hairline crack on his arm/elbow can't remember which about stage 7. He was miles behind and struggling badly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedWeb Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 (edited) Cavendish is a great sprinter and deserves tremendous credit for all the stages he's won. But he's never going to win a big stage race like Le Tour, Giro, Vuelta etc and as such can never be regarded as one the absolute top cyclists out there. For me winning one mountain top stage to Alpe D'huez beats any number of flat sprints you want to mention. Nothing against Cavendish. Just feel he gets too much attention when in this sort of race he's out the back half the time. Edited July 22, 2011 by RedWeb 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
