Sadly Dracs.

Slap the yellow fleece on him and he is a doper too, raw talent or not.

Yep. the boys already have their calculators out and the innuendo's have begun, but he won't get the full heat until he's winning...

Jack Bauer from Garmin crashed face first into a barbed wire fence.

I think Tour de Suisse in 2010.

That was a bad bonk. He slowed down like a loaded truck on the flats.

 

Think it was the Dauphine during LA's comeback year. He and Lance had traded some barbs in the press. The latter tweeted something along the lines of: "Restated: Much to learn." I may be wrong...

I know I am a day late on the whole eating enough during a mountain stage debate, But I can rember contador making the same mistake a few years ago, I cant remeberthe race but I remember how he was attacking and leaving every for dead and then whammo. They came past . When he reached the end he was gulping down cokes ( the liquid my locally by abi )

 

Can anyone else remember where it was ?

Who says sprinters cant climb.

 

Cavendish is making a move ahead of the peloton.

Wants the sprint points on the other side of the hill.

 

Te laat, bru, te laat...

Ta for the correction, mate! Just googled it, and found a cyclingnews forum thread where a poster made the same error as me! Hahaha! There was even a suggestion on that thread that Contador had faked the bonk to psych out Lance...*groan*

Yip, that's the one

Poor Cadel

Rolland, of course, would like to win the mountain ranking and gain as many points towards the KOM jersey as possible.

[Eugene Oppelt]

Yesterday was "the first day since the start in which I feel really good," said Moreno Moser of Cannondale.

[Eugene Oppelt]

SVein Tuft of Orica-GreenEdge has crashed, too. Most of the damage seems to have been to his jersey, though.
