So yesterday no one could keep up with Kim. Kim has however played her ace and it was not enough and now she should be spent........ (I do however smell a rat that reminded me the time when Floyd won.... how the hell can a guy so badly out of form suddenly break away and ride 60km into a head wind alone and take 2mins over everyone?)

Today Khloee will attack. Khloee is even a kakker time trialist than her younger sister. Evans only needs to keep up with Kim today and make sure they get rid of Voeckler to ensure the win.

Dont be surpised if Contador goes with Khloee and wins the stage.

Evans team needs to come to the party today.....

Maybe they should take whatever the Kardashian sisters are taking....

So all in all Evans just needs to tune to channel 202 at 14h00 and ensure he is "keeping up with the kardashians"

Pretty funny, in a smack-in-the-face kinda way. Hope you're right.

I worked out that i dont like the Schlecks because they remind me of Graeme Smith. Therefore I dont think they will win, but fear they will. I love the way my sportsfan mind works; makes a change from the real world.

Rooting for Evans - the quiet, unfashionable, steady, old guy, no-one likes much. ............Nope, cant see a link there at all.

Ok, great, who the hell are they? :unsure:

Dunno, but there was a headline in the Sunday paper the other day about one of them having a big ring. So, it must be sorta cycling-related.

Boy some of you guys are really throwing comments left and right about something you clearly know not much about.Andy proved most of us all wrong yesterday with a brilliant ride.Now to accuse him of doping?? :thumbdown:

Well we will have to see whats going to happen but I think most of us will scream for Voeckler to again ride his heart out.

And Contador is spent,he's gone,legs is moertoe.So don't expect anything from him

If one guy deserves it, it is Evans. I also suspect he is pretty clean (whatever that means) and it would be best for the tour if he wins it....

Freakin Basso and Voeckler had teammates left but still let Evans do all the work....

I suspect they are afraid of him and knows he is strong......

Anyways, the bitches are all going for podium finishes....(basso & frank)

Respect to Kim for at least trying and making the race interesting...

Today Frank must do that........ And everyone will need to work together to get rid of Voeckler....

Which also begs the question....... how the hell can a moderate climber all of a suddenly drop guys like Contador?

WTF is becoming of this sport?

You have to give Mr E respect for pulling that bunch up the final mountain yesterday: after Alberto dropped out they all looked at each other and WTF'ed - then he took up the lead & pace. Very impressive. Why didn't the other slackers like Basso pull up front? Because they couldn't?
He who laughs, has a laugh.

Didn't you just do the same thing there?

Aren't people allowed to have an opinion if it differs from yours? And no one accused Amy of anything. But in the light of recent years, and Amy's poor or bluffing performance earlier in the tour, yesterday cannot help but raise a question in some people's minds.

Dude, you have to admit there is some "deja vu" in terms of the Floyd incident.... Anday wasnt exactly in prime for until yesterday... and yet he managed to ride away from everyone ALONE for 60km's. Evans only had to take charge with 15km's left with 40 odd guys helping before that............

Lets watch this space for the next few weeks when all the test results etc come back........

But I suspect Voeckler and Andy must be under close watch by the anti doping authorities....

Guys, guys, can you say "Xtra view"? Google it.
Don't surrender your life to the momentum of mediocrity. Keep following your dreams and one day you will tick them off.

One thing that is a definite from yesterday...Evans is by far the best climber at pace, he destroyed the field with that effort. Frankie did rest up behind him, which allowed him to hop past at the end. Another scenario that plays in my mind is that Andy was actually not pushing at full pace up Galibier, as he knew he had a solid buffer and another rough day today :blink:
Personally, I'll never be satisfied until they make a computer that prints bacon. That's exactly what I want.

:( Shows how the years of these doping issues has now been built into our brain. Any good performance is immediately constituted to doping. Sad thing is it's normally 100% right.

but hey, they ALL dope, so who really cares????

Who knows.....but I will be rooting for Voeckler.
+ One million trillion gazillion!!!
He deserves it the most, showed the most guts and determination. Did not hide in the bunch the whole way. Was always on the front or thereabout. :thumbup: :clap:

My second choice for a win would be Cadel.
