Wiggins wasnt angry - it was just adrenaline/being 'pumped up' |

Several favorites were extremely angry that Contador attacked with the help of the draft of the motorcycles for about 2kms, which is conducive to a penalty, yet the ASO did nothing.
Ah, right. I wasn't sure if it was because of that incident because he didn't say anything about it to the medi. It actually seemed like he was annoyed with himself when he banging his fist on the team van, but that makes no sense. Contador's lucky in that case. |

Ok then...maybe ITV portrayed it in totally the wrong way. Now I'm even more confused  |

Verbier will be exactly like this stage....the finish mountain just isnt enough steep and long, and there ist almost no major obstacles during the stage...
some riders need to attack right at the bottom of the climb, not 3km to go...

next Pyrenes stages stupid profile...
stage to Verbier is almost like this one, that means a big group of favourites at the summit....
next two Alps stages after Verbier without mountain-finish...
EXTREMELY STUPID PROFILE OF THIS TOUR DE FRANCE!!!
Some riders has to attack, therefore I think we will see some attacks the next stages... I think the reason nobody attacked earlier today was because it is always a bit nervous the first mountain stage, nobody wants to use too much energy and loose everything the first real mountain stage
It's not going to happen. Not tomorrow, not on sunday. Np uphill finish means no attacks. The finish is just too far off. None of the favourites are going to attack this weekend, which again put emphasis on the ridiculous route this year. There's only true uphill finish left in this tour, only ONE(!!!!!) stage where we will see the favourites fight it out, well there's one more very tough alp stage where they will most likely attack, but not this weekend.
Don't forget Verbier.
Verbier is harder
Verbier is not harder than Arcalis. It's 2 kilometres short at about the same gradient.

Doesn't mr. Feillu look a bit like Frank Schleck on the picture in this article?

As he recovered at the summit finish to Friday's seventh stage, Armstrong dropped another hint or 10 that he and Alberto Contador, who attacked his group with 2 kilometres remaining, are racing to different agendas.
Asked if Contador's move had been pre-arranged, Armstrong said, "That wasn't really to the plan, but I didn't expect him to go by the plan, so [it was] no surprise."
and this is best team?..and Bruyneel best manager? |

Also LOL@Gerdemann's result.
I hate that pretentious sniveling self-appointed-best-rider-ever asshat who stops at nothing to win. He's screwed over so many people to get his career to rise that it's just too funny to see him fail 
That, plus he was a below average prospect until he started working with Checchini and suddenly went from half-decent climber to great time triallist/stage racer. I don't like dopers. Much less the very obvious ones.

It will be funny to see when you get banned.
You got hurt because that i think it was funny. The forum talks so much shit about contador and Lance and i cant even say thats funny?
Saying it's 'funny' is a stupid and childish remark. The reason people smack Contador is because he is superior. I'd rise above it if I was you.

Whoever said that, should've waited until Gerdemann is older.
When you see a guy whose jaw is so much wider at 30 years old than it was at 18, the only possible explanations are either plastic surgery or human growth hormone.
Same thing when they're 30 and suddenly have to change shoes because their feet have somehow grown at that age....HGH.

Yep same issue..
Found it..that was legend Aquarius..
I don't know about Lövkvist, but isn't/wasn't Gerdemann "prepared" by Ferrari at some point of his career ?
His lower jaw has such a "big" shape that it could be a sign of growth hormon use. I'd need to have pictures of him as a kid or teenager to compare though...

I think the Feillu brothers will be great some day. Brice as a climber and Romain as a sprinter. |
