Argghhh...so today was disappointing at the tour. I'm really cheering for Schleck at this point and Contador is a tool for taking advantage of the situation the way that he did.
Tough luck for Schleck. Loosing the chain in a critical moment is really not something anybody wants. Too bad the others were not so fair to wait for him. But they already waited in Spa. So I guess they figured that this time there is no justification for waiting.
That's not the unwritten rule at the Tour though. When the Yellow jersey has to take a bio break or has a mechanical issue...the rest of the field slows and waits. In this case, Contador took advantage and established a lead during this time. I really think it stinks. Years ago when Lance won the race, he didn't do it through shady tactics and taking advantage of bad situations.
I still think Schleck can take him...and I think this is just going to fuel Schleck in later stages.
Yeah, maybe. But Contador is much better against the clock which I believe will happen on Sat. in Bordeaux.
Agreed and that was why I was happy that Schleck had the 40 second lead. Oh well, there is still a lot of racing to go.
I'm really enjoying the Tour as I do every year.
Routing for Hushovd! He got the green jersey back!
Cycling ftw <3
This tour is great in HD. I've been watching it everyday. Good racing for sure, too bad about all the crashes. The uphill finish on thursday should be good. I ride myself but I stick to my mountain bike.
