"I wasn't surprised that I couldn't stay with Contador on this climb. Bjarne [Riis] warned me today that I shouldn't panic when I wasn't able to stay with Alberto when he attacked because the climb suited him much more. I think I did pretty good by losing only ten seconds.”
Yeh, "the climb suited the [canary] more than me?" He forgot to add "...because it was uphill!"
If he doesn't get 60+ seconds more before the TT day it'll be the canary's again and Shrek can head back to the swamp.
its not looking good for the jolly luxburgering giant. handbags at ax le thermes last night, bit disappointing. mind you watching Menchov realise he had a chance then putting his foot down, it was like watching someone pedal through custard - in 3 kms he opened up a 13 second gap...whoa! denise don't overdo-it you might get third. Look at yesteryears heroes too. Basso 7mins down, Vino 7, Sastre 8, Klody 10, Armstrong...still in Rotterdam!
ReplyDeleteHighlight of the night was watching that idiot up front go down the mountain, i threw up on two occasions and hid behind the couch on at least one other.
Still no dopers either, even though i can't be the only person noticing that they are not riding up the mountains they are sprinting up...over 10 minutes ahead of schedule last night too.
Its going to be a farce if Canary wins yellow in Paris, with Thor winning green and neither winning a stage.
Hot news. Saw me-Juler and Sitofftheback-Stu down the bay on Saturday and Lord Lucan Shaw on sunday morning. Lord Lucan is looking good particularly whilst shoving the egg/bacon roll in his gob. Still riding the red Canondale although replacent is in the 'post'
