Gen Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 I think a lot of riders are up to help see Astana get taken down a peg. Surely there must be a lot of muttering about Astanas performance.Yeah.. Landa doesn't look like he is that tired (31km to go)
'Dale Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Ironically, Berto attacked Schleckie, wearing yellow, when he dropped his chain.Contador rolled for Astana then.Admittedly, it wasn't clear whether they attacked because of his mechanical or whether they responded to Andy's actual attack up the climb. Intriguing stuff.

Gen Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Jis I like that dutchman.. I really hope ue gets a stage win..
Gen Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 What a stage.. Super nice of Beefie to make sure the youngster got the KOM points.. nice one Bert.. classy.
GrumpyOldGuy Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 'Berto the BOSS! Dont mess with the Boss...! All I am gonna say.
Gen Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 'Berto the BOSS! Dont mess with the Boss...! All I am gonna say.Ja.. they made him angry.. and woke the beast.. beefie beast..
Mntboy Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Yeah, although we will never know whether they responded to his attack or his dropped chain #sramgateEither way an entertaining piece of history and neither seem to be overly cut up about that incident. Chalked up to "That's bike racing". All the reactions to today's puncture-gate is going to get fueled by the strong anti-Astana sentiment. Nobody seems to like them at this point in time.
Mntboy Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Ja.. they made him angry.. and woke the beast.. beefie beast..The Spanish call him El Pistilero due to his signature salute when he wins a race. Well today they brought out the Gatling Gun in him!
Gen Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Just watching the interview with him, he looked absolutely thrilled and then he teared up while talking about his team, they absolutely turned themselves inside out for him.. And that is why we love this sport
Squier Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 I love to see him riding like this! It's a spectacle! Watching this though I can't help but worry about the Tour. It's not like these are half-measured efforts...

Jay_B Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 The one stage out of the whole tour so far I couldn't get home early to watch the last hour or so... and it happens to be one of the best. Before this race didn't like Contador much but have huge respect for the way he has ridden this tour and yesterdays stage... slowly becoming a fan
