This is moronic - "despite perfect tactics"
http://velonews.competitor.com/2011/...-strong_169960
I didn't see a single attempt to use their 2 against 1 position. How in the **** can tempo riding be called "an attack" ? The Schlecks just don't have the killer instinct. |

That's some pretty good cowboyin' up IMHO. Including not hiding behind the hat even when it's the closest thing to a hole for any distance. On to the Tour. --D-y |

The Schlecks just don't have the killer instinct. Let's restate the obvious, shall we... the Schlecks ride away from everyone except Gilbert on la Roche aux faucons. They try another attack on St Nicholas: Andy gets dropped and Frank barely hangs on. And in the finale, TurboPhil has enough of a gap to start his celebration before the line. I'd say A&F decided riding hard for 2nd & 3rd was better than putzing around to finish 5th & 8th. |

But, I watched the later moments and realized that Gilbert had, and probably more times than the coverage showed, pulled some pretty intimidating moves of his own, not "allowing" the Schlecks to get anything going. Yes, it's hard to attack when you're pedaling about as hard as you can but one of them needed to attack, ****ing die, puke all over the street! And even if both of them AFDPAOTS'd, and Gilbert rolled in solo, at least they would have died trying to win instead of conserving podia. --D-y |

I can only imagine what he must've been thinking when he went over the top and only Frank was with him. I'd almost bet he was thinking of all the various ways he could do a victory salute, given that he was a lock to win. That, or he was thinking of some respectable way he could kill himself if he didn't win. Fred |

Yup, obvious. But what if a well-timed attack had found Gilbert in a weak moment? Yeah, he had them intimidated. I've been there myself, on both sides, in fatty master parking-lot racing (using the LCD approach required here). But, I've also died after repeatedly attacking a stronger opponent, who did not end up winning the race, by a long shot. His anger at being embarrassed by a "lesser" at a race he felt he was divinely ordained (so to speak) to win was a big factor in his defeat. The human element must be exploited... --D-y |
