Le Tour 2011

Can't blame frank schleck for not helping. Every other rider would do the same in his position.

Just a thought - whatever happens - Evans has kept himself in this up until now all by himself. He's a tough bastard with a heart the size of Phar Lap's.

Re his heart, funny you should say. He actually does have an enlarged heart and has done from birth which helps his lung capacity somehow or other - Cyclo, help me out here! Lance Armstrong has the same thing.

I know if it was Cadel I wouldnt complain but Cadels our guy. Biased I know.

But we are being bias!! haha

Ah, found it. It's called Ventricular hypertrophy with wiki on it here. Apparently Cadel has had it from birth.

Yes, Frank seems to be playing the same game as yesterday. By rights he should have a lot more left in the tank than the others for this final 15km as he's done fuck all work so far.

 

[Scotty]

Having more in the group could make it harder for evans to mark the schlecks.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

As long as Evans is around the front of the group it should be ok. BMC is trying to sort something out now which is good. The yellow jersey is up there what an effort. The commentators are asking if Frank has anything left, surely he does, its Andy I'd have thought was screwed. This last 13km is going to feel like forever.

 

[Tangawizi]

Also Voeckler - he is seriously one of the best at claiming the underdog tag I've ever seen. Everyday he says he can't possibly win but everyday he won't fuck off either.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Cadel trying to take off.

Cadels come back now.

 

[Nusadan]

Can't even dare to take a piss break....

Bloody ads on again...

 

[Scotty]

Contador simply amazing.

Looks like cadel will just sit with Andy and also looks like frank is gone.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Surprised about Frank. If I were Cadel I'd be prepared for a take off by Andy to get rid of him.

 

[Tangawizi]

I hope Cadel has plenty left for the last 5km. It would be great if he could take time out of Andy Schleck today.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Cadel in a Schleck sandwich...

 

[Nusadan]

Bloody Aussie spectators making a galah of themselves!

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Amazing Andy Schleck can do the pace setting after the day he had yesterday. How about some of these spectators I'm surprised none of the riders have been knocked over by one of them.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Bloody Aussie spectators making a galah of themselves!

I think the Dutch have us covered, one of theres nearly got himself run over.

 

[Nusadan]

Ha, had a Dutch girlfriend for six years...she was lovely!

 

[Nusadan]

Geez, what a dick there...see this fellow in scrubs offering Contador 'drugs'?
