Ad break...what's going on here then !?

All seems a bit odd. AC just going back to see how much trouble, if at all, J Rod and AVV are in ? Saxo still driving it at the front.

Any ideas anyone?

 

[Stat Brother]

That's what he did on Saturday.
But still got humped by J-Rod.

It appears me bringing Froome back in was the final nail in his Vuelta! Rodriguez is proving pretty awesome in matching Contador attack for attack.

What an idiot, I was watching Eurosport before midday today thinking I was watching today's stage live, and they were showing yesterdays. I've been wondering what the hell you lot have been going on about! A fail of epic proportions....

Cheers

The lead has past the 13-minute mark and is now a huge 13:30.

Should be on EuroSport from 14.00, I hope

Looking less likely to stay away now.

Bugger riding this tour, I would have nurdled my way out of it, weeks ago!

Tactical crash on the second stage would have been the way I'd go

Anton is gonna have a go by the looks of things, if he is strong enough he could well do it as the big boys will let him go.

Not in my team, he won't.

That's quite some bar tape de Ghent is rockin there!

 

[Stat Brother]

They've taken pretty much a minute, in that km.

Back on.

 

[Stat Brother]

Still in the big ring,

 

[Pantani]

Still in the big ring,

I only use the big ring downhill these days

I suppose de Gendt needed to leave himself somewhere to go once they reach the 25% section!

 

[Stat Brother]

I can here Menchov saying to Moreno:-

'now feckin well stay there this time'.

 

[Stat Brother]

de Gendt looks like he is riding so slowly compared to the peloton, but they are keeping it a 6 mins.

Although the gradient has just ramped up.

 

[Stat Brother]

The 1-2-3 must pick itself again.

 

[Stat Brother]

Wow that was some 'peel off'

 

[Stat Brother]

I kicked Quintana out a couple of days ago, as he seemed off the pace

 

[Bold Seagull]

Valverde cracking, Contador just can't shake Rodriguez though can he...

 

[Stat Brother]

First time ever, a commentator beats one of us to the line:-

This last 2 k's is taking ages! (unsurprisingly)

 

[Pantani]

That was savage. Cataldo was hardly moving at the end. Well done him.

 

[Stat Brother]

T'was nuts.

Doing all that and coming second, must be horrendous, esp as you say Cataldo could hardly pedal, chapeau.

 

[Stat Brother]

If I were AVV, when I got my strength back (a couple of months time) I'd batter AC.

'what the fook have you got against me, you a******e'.
