Great riding by Stubbe. If he get's the mountain jersey I'll be very satisfied.

Tour de Pain - Stage 3 - Embrun - Alpe d'Huez - Part 3 (Alpe d'Huez)

The breakaway attack each other in the approach to Alpe d'Huez
i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/SportingNonsense/Tour%20de%20Pain/tourdepainhuez38.png

Rebellin gets a gap on the rest
i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/SportingNonsense/Tour%20de%20Pain/tourdepainhuez39.png

But at the first turn of the Alpe, the break is over - let the real battle commence
i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/SportingNonsense/Tour%20de%20Pain/tourdepainhuez40.png

Contador attacks first
i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/SportingNonsense/Tour%20de%20Pain/tourdepainhuez41.png

Kirchen, Valverde, Menchov, Sastre, and Sanchez counter him
i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/SportingNonsense/Tour%20de%20Pain/tourdepainhuez42.png

But the group is all brought back
i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/SportingNonsense/Tour%20de%20Pain/tourdepainhuez43.png

The reason? Yaroslav Popovych grinding away at the front
i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/SportingNonsense/Tour%20de%20Pain/tourdepainhuez44.png

Many riders are starting to get dropped (the peleton was 101 riders big at the foot). Including points leader Marco Pinotti
i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/SportingNonsense/Tour%20de%20Pain/tourdepainhuez45.png

After 2.5km of Popovych leading the peleton, Samuel Sanchez attacks
i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/SportingNonsense/Tour%20de%20Pain/tourdepainhuez46.png

Kirchen, Pellizotti, Contador and Menchov counter
i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/SportingNonsense/Tour%20de%20Pain/tourdepainhuez47.png

Nothing from Evans as Popovych still chases. Pereiro is now on his wheel
i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/SportingNonsense/Tour%20de%20Pain/tourdepainhuez48.png

Sella becomes the first major casualty, suffering for his earlier work
i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/SportingNonsense/Tour%20de%20Pain/tourdepainhuez49.png

Popovych finally pulled over after over 5km of work, Pereiro takes over as Kirchen and Pellizotti are caught
i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/SportingNonsense/Tour%20de%20Pain/tourdepainhuez50.png

At the back of the peleton, Frank Schleck, Thomas Lovkvist and Stijn Devolder amongst others
i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/SportingNonsense/Tour%20de%20Pain/tourdepainhuez51.png

Pereiro looks set to bring the attackers back, but Samuel Sanchez attacks once again
i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/SportingNonsense/Tour%20de%20Pain/tourdepainhuez52.png

The rest counter and start to pull away so Valverde and Di Luca make their moves
i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/SportingNonsense/Tour%20de%20Pain/tourdepainhuez53.png

Andy Schleck then goes and finally! Its Cadel Evans!
i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/SportingNonsense/Tour%20de%20Pain/tourdepainhuez54.png

Valverde moves into the lead
i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/SportingNonsense/Tour%20de%20Pain/tourdepainhuez55.png

But then Contador comes past him
i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/SportingNonsense/Tour%20de%20Pain/tourdepainhuez56.png

Now Di Luca takes to the front
i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/SportingNonsense/Tour%20de%20Pain/tourdepainhuez57.png

Here comes Cadel Evans now, alongside Di Luca
i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/SportingNonsense/Tour%20de%20Pain/tourdepainhuez58.png

Damiano Cunego finally attacks from the peleton!
i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/SportingNonsense/Tour%20de%20Pain/tourdepainhuez59.png

While Contador makes another move to take back Cadel Evans
i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/SportingNonsense/Tour%20de%20Pain/tourdepainhuez60.png

Valverde and Sastre both come back to the front
i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/SportingNonsense/Tour%20de%20Pain/tourdepainhuez61.png

Riccardo Ricco has been anonymous over the last few kilometres of attacks, but he makes a big move now
i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/SportingNonsense/Tour%20de%20Pain/tourdepainhuez62.png

Ricco rounds the bend and into the final kilometre
i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/SportingNonsense/Tour%20de%20Pain/tourdepainhuez63.png

The charge to the line!
i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/SportingNonsense/Tour%20de%20Pain/tourdepainhuez64.png

But what's this? Valverde is coming back at him!
i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/SportingNonsense/Tour%20de%20Pain/tourdepainhuez65.png

Valverde is edging closer and closer - but the line is also coming closer and closer
i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/SportingNonsense/Tour%20de%20Pain/tourdepainhuez66.png

Line astern - and there is the line!
i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/SportingNonsense/Tour%20de%20Pain/tourdepainhuez67.png

Valverde does a great big Gorilla impresssion
i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/SportingNonsense/Tour%20de%20Pain/tourdepainhuez68.png

For he has won on Alpe d'Huez! Ricco 2nd, Contador keeping yellow in 3rd.
i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/SportingNonsense/Tour%20de%20Pain/tourdepainhuez69.png

Sastre faded in the last kilometre and Evans beats him to 4th
i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/SportingNonsense/Tour%20de%20Pain/tourdepainhuez70.png

Cunego attacked too late and takes 6th ahead of Di Luca
i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/SportingNonsense/Tour%20de%20Pain/tourdepainhuez71.png

Samuel Sanchez is further behind the front 7 in 8th ahead of Andy Schleck and Denis Menchov, Menchov was completely anonymous in the last few kilometres
i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/SportingNonsense/Tour%20de%20Pain/tourdepainhuez72.png

Piepoli 11th, Dekker 12th
i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/SportingNonsense/Tour%20de%20Pain/tourdepainhuez73.png

Leipheimer makes a very late attack from the peleton for 13th, Pellizotti is 14th with Kloden rounding out the top 15
i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/SportingNonsense/Tour%20de%20Pain/tourdepainhuez74.png

The first Grupetto of 41 came in led by Jelle Vanendert and Stefan Schumacher
i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/SportingNonsense/Tour%20de%20Pain/tourdepainhuez75.png

Group Cavendish was next, led in (surprisingly) by two decent climbers in Alex Efimkin and Lampre's Marzano. Bradley Wiggins was hanging off the back of the group.
i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/SportingNonsense/Tour%20de%20Pain/tourdepainhuez78.png

8 minutes later came Mario Cipollini, resisting the urge to abandon
i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/SportingNonsense/Tour%20de%20Pain/tourdepainhuez76.png

And here is the final group, including Baden Cooke, Julian Dean, Magnus Backstedt and Robbie McEwen. LPR's Luca Celli was the last over the line
i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/SportingNonsense/Tour%20de%20Pain/tourdepainhuez77.png

(Full results will come later tonight at some point)

Cunego failed, just like i thought :lol:

No what the heck was the point of that Rebellin? Pfft Stupid guy, using lots of energy on the day BEFORE the stage he has actually targeted Pfft

I suspect the two Gerolsteiner-riders in the last group was our two sprinters Förster and Haussler (and thereby counting on that Lang and Zberg finished somewhere longer up). And that there are still 9 men-in-skyblue in the race.

No riders inside the top 20... or so it seams anyway. But that`ll be different tommorow. Grin
 
Levi4life
Sastre and Schleck!

Valverde owned, also it looks like the same stage that is on the end of the PCM trailer Pfft
 
SportingNonsense
Immortal, it was Forster and Lang in the last group for Gerolsteiner. Zberg and Haussler were in the same group as Schumacher.

Here are the more detailed results:

An annoyed Astana manager;

"3th, 2nd, 3th. Yes, we're disappointed AGAIN. This should have been OUR stage."

"Of course Contador held on to the jersey today, no surprise there."

"I think the stage to Alto de L'Angliru is our last realist chance to win a stage. Tomorrow will be hard to win. Valverde showed today he is in great shape and tomorrow is his terrain. Our goal tomorrow is to hold on to the jersey."

Stijn Devolder is still looking good. Grin
i bet he can get a top 5 due to the cobbles
prevent hangovers --> stay drunk
pozzato, basically the most stupid cyclist around

RIP WW. Gone but not forgotten
 
raar1991
waiting for more Wink

looking good here. seems like kirchen was too eager in his attacks, but he came in just behind leipheimer so its ok. now for the hilly stages there might be a chance at getting some time back and get into the spotlight again? Columbia is pleased sofar with the tour.
 
snoep_de_hond
SportingNonsense? Do you know when you will ride/post the next stage? Or aren't you going to finish this? I don't hope so, because I was enjoying this.
 
SportingNonsense
Why would I not finish this? Dont ask stupid questions Wink

I have raced the next stage, I just havent found the time to post it up yet

snoep_de_hond
That's a relief, but there’s no such thing as a stupid question …… only stupid answers. Wink

Well then I'll just go back to waiting.
