I think Giro had a rest day on the weekend. I remember thinking like wtf when I got home for the weekend (had no chance to watch eurosport in the week) to discover it was a rest day.

The process of a sprint is much longer than 200m
By that argument LEOpard-trek were going all out for 50km.
Andy attacked Firther out than Cav will tomorrow

By what argument? My argument had nothing to do with length

Check your sources before screaming, both rest days in the Giro was on Mondays, May 16 and 23.

you said the process of the sprint was much longer, therefore it is directly to do with length

Dont see any length mentioned in there.
Or did my response to you suddenly become my argument?

And idiots they are, indeed. This is THE chance to win the Tour, with AC injuried and tired. If they fail, they'll regret this missed chance for a long time. Maybe for their whole career.
Exactly what I was thinking. If they won't be able to beat Contador in these conditions, when will they?
They should think of it, sadly they've delegated the thinking to the ear-speaker guy...
And he likes his brother so much that he's never going to take the risk to put him in trouble. Better finish 3rd and 4th (always together), than 1st and 6th, eh ?
Then the ear-speaker guy has the tactic all wrong. If they want to win the Tour de France they should go all for Andy and stop this 2 guns crap as Frank is never going to stand a real chance for winning the Tour.
I'd love to see Contador getting better in the Alps and give them all a giant slap in the face though.

My response was to your longer comment, it was also meant to be tongue in cheek

Hmm so much anger in this thread!
Time to lighten the mood - Time for Pre-Race tweets!!
@ChristianKnees Christian Knees
Good Morning all, the Pyrenees are done and the white jersey is back at team sky, well done Rigo
@richie_porte Richie Porte
anti-doping test and brekkie complete, kitting up for another wet stage. Rest day 2mrw and Vini Rosso on the table tonight. Hell yeah!
@MarkCavendish Mark Cavendish
No update from me yesterday. Was in a world FAR away called #feelingsorryformyselfland. Small crash & a lot of suffering was stage analysis.
@MarkCavendish Mark Cavendish
the finish today is a little technical. Hopefully we can make the last few day's suffering worthwhile with a win.
@itvcycling ITV Cycling
170 riders start today's 193km jaunt along the Med after Bonnet's elimination yesterday. A break of 5 riders have escaped with 5km raced
Delage (FDJ) instigated the break the moment the flag dropped. His companions are Terpstra QST, Dumoulin COF, Ignatiev KAT and Delaplace SAU
Edit:
@itvcycling ITV Cycling
Delage is the best placed rider in the breakaway, starting the day 120th 1hr48'54" behind Voeckler. With 15km gone they have a lead of 3'30"

The wind is blowing hard and has caused a split in the peloton. Hushovd, Moncoutie and a number of others are in the 2nd group
Edited by Martin_TB on 17-07-2011 12:53
It's a strong breakaway you know.
Ignatyev - great flat rider
Terpstra - great flat rider
Dumoulin - great flat rider
But HTC knows that and won't let them get more than 4 minutes over the peloton. And Cav will Thor his way to 4th stage win
Edited by Kirchen_75 on 17-07-2011 13:55
Sky will do the sprint for Swift today. Hopefully they get the better leadout, the potential in a leadout from Thomas/Hagen is great. Hopefully Hagen holds on to Thomas today, and doesn't get pushed around off other riders.
Also, there seems to be a lot of wind today, would be nice to some echelons on the last 50 kms.
But Cavendish for the win, will be nice if he makes 5 stage victories, like last year, grabbing today and Champs Elysees.
