CAAD4 Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 Nice pic. Did that start today? If so, Frank and Andy should be well rested. You are damn lucky having all these big races to close to you...
ccc2 Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 the results are fixed - just another payday for pro cyclists.
gummibear Posted July 28, 2011 Author Posted July 28, 2011 the results are fixed - just another payday for pro cyclists. Why are they fixed and how?
Big H* Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) Why are they fixed and how? Does the Aussie still have his Milo John on and does that Yohann guy from Europcar wear his Coco John? Edited July 28, 2011 by eccentric1
camerons Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) If Paul Kimmage's book "Rough Ride" is to be beleived the organizers fix it so a local pro wins the local race... ie. one of the Schleks would win this one. This keeps it popular with the locals and boosts the organizers profits and they in turn can pay the riders more. A nice symbiotic relationship. Very cool picture by the way.

Tumbleweed Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Frank won,Thomas Voeckler second with Andy 3rd. Any bottles thrown in anger?
splat Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Any bottles thrown in anger? He didn't get dropped, so he didn't need to have a tantrum.And didn't have any team mates to shout at while they paced him back either...
AndreZA Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Frank won,Thomas Voeckler second with Andy 3rd. So if you look at that photo then Voeckler made up one position from being 3rd on the grid. See, even from the start they set it up so that Frank wins.
