I don't care what anyone says
Phonak's tactics suck. They deserve to lose after today. Anyone who's
arrogant enough to give up over 28 minutes on GC is a loser. Biggest break in TDF history. Serious question here : Why didn't Phonak just get off the bikes and walk it in over the line? |

Only instead of Armstrong being a minute behind the yellow jersey, he was 35 minutes behind, with a guy like Kivilev 20+ minutes ahead. |

I'm shocked you forgot the 7th stage in 1906 from Marseille tyo Toulouse (406 km), when Trousellier, Passerieu and Petit-Breton finished one hour and six minutes before the rest. Benjo |

I heard with Floyd's hip problems riding is less painful than walking. Not surprising. Back in my twenties when I had arthritis in my left hip it was much less painful to cycle than to walk. All those years of cycling seem to have polished the problem out, and I now have no pain doing either. Interesting to see how much time Landis spends /in/ the saddle rather than out of it; I shall watch that on the next big climb. Out of the saddle is still non-impact, of course, which is a great help, but it is load bearing. -- (Simon Brooke) http://www.jasmine.org.uk/~simon/ 'there are no solutions, only precipitates' |

Not to mention the brilliant tactics these guys recommend of riding on the wheel of the guy in front of them. What do you want to bet that Tsarkon is a janitor in a meat packing plant. That would account for his director sportiff-like knowledge. |

That would mean he has a better job that you do. And he also has more insight and intellectual understanding towards the sport of stage racing than you possess, or will ever possess. Now be a good little troll and go back to collecting those beer cans and pop bottles so you can go out buy yourself a nice family sized can of spam to go along with that half bottle of Ripple you salvaged from the dumpster you call home at night...

Serious question here : Why didn't Phonak just get off the bikes and walk it in over the line? In the end, Floyd is still only a minute and a half behind Pereiro. So, the race is not lost, there are 8 stages remaining, with the Alp still to come. Floyd can regain that 90 second gap easily, providing of course he stays healthy and fit and doesn't suffer from any accidents along the way. It's a common tactic. Part of the feign and bluff of riding a stage-race. This puts the pressure on Pereiro to try to hold on to the yellow, something I'm not convinced he's capable of doing. But, I could be wrong, and am willing to be wrong. It's all part of the sport of bike racing.... Cheers Scoot SDG |
