Nah he crashed himself. He really crashes all the time. In Lombardy last year, in the Paris-Nice (some three times) and now this + a heck of a lot other crashes in other races.

You know, that link probably would've helped alot if i speaked danish 
Why don't you learn it then?
or if you are lazy, just use the english link: https://www.team-c...11&lang=uk
*sigh* sometimes I wonder what people use for a head
I already know 3 other languages besides english, I don't have time at the moment to learn a new language
Well, like I mentioned earlier...bad day for me, was nothing personal
and I can only talk 2 other languages then english, so I cant really complain |

This is not Flanders, but look at this - what a great crowd the Basque one is!

I think Dekker will take it quite easily, he is a better time-trialist than contador, (usually )
Yeah, well, Contador has been superhumanly strong lately, so I wouldn't count too much on that 'fact'. |

Dekker as neo pro in 2005 beat Kirchen in a climb TT in poland difference was like...23 seconds or so? Romandy last year was also a hilly TT, again Dekker won.
Why isn't this perfect for him? Maybe if the climb was 20km, he would have no chance, but that's not the case
Contador is the biggest favourite, then Evans and Dekker, not Kirchen. |

Dekker op jacht naar een stunt tegen Contador
Categorie: ProTour
Thomas Dekker waagt vanmiddag een poging om in de Ronde van Baskenland Alberto Contador nog van de troon te verjagen en de eindzege binnen te halen. De afsluitende tijdrit over 20 kilometer moet daarover uitsluitsel geven. Dekker staat negende op acht tellen van de Spaanse leider. Daartussen staan alle anderen ook op acht tellen: Cunego, Kirchen, Herrero, Evans, Astarloza, Monfort en Rebellin. De tijdsverschillen van gisteren zijn door de jury verwijderd vanwege de valpartij in de laatste drie kilometer. Jammer voor Dekker, die vooraan mee was met Cunego en Contador en vijf tellen verloor. Terwijl de anderen meer tijd inleverden.
Niettemin is Dekker optimistisch gestemd. 'Het moet wel kunnen vandaag, ik zie mogelijkheden.' Na 2,5 kilometer is er een flinke klim en dat zou in het voordeel van Contador moeten zijn. Daarna volgt een traject waarop de Nederlander kan toeslaan. Zelf ziet Dekker ook in Kirchen en Evans zware opponenten.
and I agree with that. |

Well I disagree with Kirchen, he can handle him. I know Kirchen is good in this type of TT, but if Dekker could beat him 3 years ago with a climb of 7km in the race, he sure as hell can beat him now.
Only if it rains, we won't see Dekker, he already told us he won't take risks if it rains. |

Good for you. and for those who don't speak dutch?
Also, he's just being polite. I don't think Kirchen has much of a chance (not saying he has none)

isso, that was just to "convince" Ruben. I dont have it in English
And I think you shouldnt underestimate Kirchen. The High Road riders are doing very good this season so far, and I think Kirchen can do a pretty good TT if hes in good form. |

Horner is in the lead right now.
EDIT: Schumacher has just edged him out by a fraction

Schumacher takes provisional pole by 0.425 seconds (it's been a couple years since I last heard that )
