Cyclingnews has its head up its ass
Dumbasses -
From: http://www.cyclingnews.com/road/2007...ul07/jul30news snip Alberto Contador may have conquered the 94th Tour de France, but there are many who feel that Evans was the real star of the race. snipend I guess they do that because Evans is Aussie and cyclingnews.com is Aussie. Evans, the "real star of the race"? My strongest recollections of him are of him getting dropped during some important moments and his post race complaining of his team not having the budget to hire a rider who could "close the gaps" for him. Lame! An example of bike-racer-excusism at its finest. thanks, K. Gringioni. |

Felt bad for Horner when they asked him aobut Cadel's whining, but he handled it well. Has there ever been a rider as highly placed who was such a non-factor in the race?

Levi won a big stage, and you couldnt expect him to chase after
Contador Perreiro at least went on the breakaway, dont remember how active he was in it though... chester wrote: shane wrote: Felt bad for Horner when they asked him aobut Cadel's whining, but he handled it well.

Perreiro had the yellow jersey for an extended period. He was a real factor in the race. Evans won one stage, a time trial, but really didn't initiate much action, directly or indirectly, otherwise. Hats off to him, though -- he rode an excellent race, in my view. Dan |

Gringioni.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - A rider can be a factor in a couple of ways: 1) they can make the breaks themselves, or 2) others can attack to get rid of the rider in question. Evans was clearly a factor in the race because much of Contador's and Rasmussen's attacks were aimed at distancing Evans. He was a factor. Fred |
