"I'm an old-school sprinter. I can't climb a mountain but if I am in front with 200 metres to go then there's nobody who can beat me.” Mark Cavendish, at the 2007 Eneco Tour
Re: Tour de France 2010
A very diffcult stage 2 and 3 !!! and we already lost Franck
2024-01-30 Big Donkey Elaska 1 Good move, good reading of the race, just the sprint didn't work out. High quality racing.
Re: Tour de France 2010
That's really sad. Yesterday Voigte was in the mood to bash the tour organizers. After this tragic stage it's easy to understand.
Re: Tour de France 2010
500m on the cobbles and who goes down? Fränk. Somehow it's always him who falls first, when there's an oppotunity to crash...
But you have to admit, there were relatively few crash victims compared to what was feared an what happened the day before.

Re: Tour de France 2010
Yap, you are right. And I think the cobblestones in a TdF are not as evil as Voigte said. He was just frustrated that Franck went down. And when I saw it right, this accident could have happened in every corner. It was a mistake by Martin and Franck couldn't react fast enough.Luna wrote:But you have to admit, there were relatively few crash victims compared to what was feared an what happened the day before.

Re: Tour de France 2010
But it`s nice that Dopestrong and Contador get much time.
My Favourite (Cadel Evans) must go on and win the tour!

Re: Tour de France 2010
Okay, winning the tour will be hard for him...
Schleck seems to be very strong this year. Could be a nice fight with Contador.

Re: Tour de France 2010
Renshaw can go home now ... he is out.
I think the only answer to his sprint today ... hard but ok

Re: Tour de France 2010
So there really is a reason to dislike spanish sportsmen ... Schleck on the attack, then his chainwheel makes technical problems... what does Contador do? He attacks instead of waiting. What a bad kind of sports spirit. Now he messed up finally. I hope Contador will happen something similar, because this is absurd to win a GT like this kind of riding. -3 for Contador.

-3 yes thats a very good idea ... from me too
Re: Tour de France 2010
It was Schleck's own mistake, so... It's not like the bicylce gearing decided not to work anymore.
I didn't mean to say it. But I meant what I said.

(but he can wait as a great sportsman ... a victory for his own i think)
Re: Tour de France 2010
A decision you have to make in a few seconds... And as far as it was his "personal negligence" - although very unfortunate - Contador's decision is comprehensible for me.

Re: Tour de France 2010
I think Saxo Bank was already lucky enough on stage 2 where almighty Cancellara forbade everyone else to ride but on stage 3 they gave a shit about everyone being stopped when Frank Schleck went down.

Re: Tour de France 2010
Seriously... Contador won 4 Grand Tours so far ... IF he wants to show he is the best... well then he has to wait for Schleck anyway to show he´s really stronger without any bla and shit. What he did was ... general classement to be caught easily today because of technical stuff, so let´s go. I mean... everyone was always able to be a good and fair sportsman ... remember Ullrich, remember Simoni waiting for Basso who´s feared of downhill ... what did Basso? Just attack and win the stage... what did Contador? What did Armstrong? All those Uber-Riders don´t seem to be Uber-Riders... they are just lucky not to have technical problems for 99% of the time (okay, you have to be attentive and so on...). But Armstrong´s not a great sportsman, Basso neither and stupid Alberto Contador I didn´t like ever ... but I respected his victories ... now I can´t respect that he´ll again win the tour.
This is also the two medaillons of such "great" kinds of showing sportsmanship. Cancellara would´ve acted differently when Andy was not in the group behind, yes. I´d prefer if riders would do like Cancellara whose team is not involved in such crashes etc., then it really is sportsmanship. Still, Cancellara´s act has nothing to do with Contador not waiting for Schleck today, does it?Neutrogena wrote:I think Saxo Bank was already lucky enough on stage 2 where almighty Cancellara forbade everyone else to ride but on stage 3 they gave a shit about everyone being stopped when Frank Schleck went down.

Re: Tour de France 2010
Why the hell it is Contators fault if Schleck can't shift properly?
Think that till the end, fairness can't be abused as well. Should everyone wait because a rider feels his weekness and crashes or shifts wrong "by accident" ?
Most times the chain goes of it is a mistake of a rider, and mistakes of riders at the wrong places should lead to time loss. I would more consider it to be unfair to the fans if Contador refused to punish that mistake of Schleck.
And hey, be honest, it is not like Schleck could have won the tour on that stage, as he would have been catched easily in the downhill. Best what could happen would be to have yellow by now, but with the minutes of loss on the line in the timetrail, those second figths they do right now is nothing but theatre. Contador was well ahead before that stage.

Re: Tour de France 2010
After Voigt had chrashed at the descent of the Peyresourde he grabbed a bike of one of the youth riders that took part in a sort of youth event behind the peloton.
Look at this!
http://www.rennrad-news.de/forum/showpost.php?p=1683521&postcount=2076
With that he chased 15km behind the field before he was handed his regular spare bike.

Re: Tour de France 2010
Lol. Ah, I see. Don't know that. Would be interesting.
Re: Tour de France 2010
Maybe he gets a brand new Saxo Bank bike, would be very cool for him (not the one with a motor of course)

Re: Tour de France 2010
Yes, that would be nice.
Must have been a big honour to help out Voigt with his own bike.
