The linked article http://www.bikeradar.com/news/articl...ch-racer-22304 is quite interesting. I was sitting there explaining crosswinds to Angus the 3-year-old (new words this week: "bunch", "gap", "points sprinter", expert analysis: "He needs to go careful. He could fall off again and hurt himself" (to rider off the back after minor crash in stage 2) when the break went. You can clearly see on the playback the 20 or so riders who got the gap, then some detritus, then a gap and on the right-hand side there is a single-file while on the left, the second echelon forms a few seconds later. It looks like Contador only had Kloden and Leipheimer for company and nobody else was willing or able to drive the bunch. So he had no chance - not enough time to form an echelon and nobody to do it for him. With hindsight, should have had another teammate to sit inside, but when the acceleration goes it is never clear if it will be strong enough to make a gap, so you do just have to follow. |

Maybe Klodie er kann Spanischen nicht sprechen and Kontador él no puede hablar alemán _But_ by the time riders have reached the level of this pair, they certainly know the French terminology for the commonly used Bikie expressions as they are used virtually universally, often even when two riders with the same Mother Tongue are speaking to each other. -- Davey Crockett - Screw the First Amendment - 1984 is coming next year - The Megan Meier Cyberbullying Prevention Act would criminalize free speech on the Internet if it can be deemed in any way to have been “harmful” to an individual. This represents the end of political blogging and free speech on the world wide web. |
