This time, I agree totally.
With who?
the stfu comment 
And why? I just noted he rode a strong climb and then I get attacked
Fuck you man, whole heartedly.
Always so damn sensitive. That time of the month already?
Maybe you should say that to the guy who starts saying STFU
you are adressing the wrong people dipshit |

What an amazing stage. I never thought there would that much action before the alpe d'Huez started, and great work by Hesjedal proving that he would have been the best placed Garmin rider had it not been for bad luck and some bad injuries that he had to get over in the first two weeks.
What a great ride by Evans, and again it was Andy who was the one wheelsucking. Courageous ride by Voeckler and deserved victory for Rolland finally getting the French a victory.
This might be the best Tour de France I can remember, almost everything went perfectly, for how I wanted it to turn out.
Hesjedal>Danielson just saying.
Did you see the entire climb to Alp d'Huez?? Cadel sat on his wheel until it was 1.8 km left. And then he attacked. Then AS sat on his wheel.
True. But I thought it was a bit rich of the Schlecks to expect Cadel to work when there was 2 of them.

Danish comentators says that Andy is in polka dots, is that really true?
If theyre going on the positions at the finish line, no.
Depends if the KoM point is on the finish line - or at a few hundred metres to go - if its the latter, then Andy may have been 4th there, and so would have the jersey
It was before the finish line about 300 metres before. And i tseems like andy was 4th there mking him win it, but im not sure if he was. if he was 5th, than it is sanchez...
I'm pretty sure they caught Velits and De Gent right before the finish line so even if the KoM points were given before the finish, Andy still wouldn't have been fourth I think
Well, Andy rounded the final corner in 4th place

But Evans didn`t need to make the pace. He did enough on the Galibier.
Contador wasn`t a big threat for him, more a threat for Andy and Frank.
True, but im just saying. He sat on the wheel, not Andy. That remark was wrong. That's all.

Now it will be interesting tomorrow. Even with a strong ride Andy should lose yellow tomorrow.
Think even Contador or Sanchez can overtake Frank. 
Also Taaramae +1'30 to Rolland can be an interesting fight.
Well it has been said many times now: Yellow will help for magical performances. Just go back to 2008. Everyone said Sastre is gonna loose it and in the end he won the tour...

You mean best 6 days. Most of the Tour was incredibly boring.
This has been the best Dauphiné in years, I'd say.

That`s why I said "interesting".
I think and hope Evans will win the Tour this year. But Andy mustn`t be underestimated for sure. |

Still, worth it in terms of this last week being the one I was off college. And better than the last 3 Tours I reckon.

Rolland "work so hard" to bridge the gap to Conta. Maybe Pierre Rolland is the next big french thing in GC, but today - he can suck my ... !
I don't see why people are having a go at him, he's done a great job of working for others (voeckler) all tour, sanchez was the first to congratulate him at the finish line.
I said "today", I really hope that Rolland one day will win the Tour and bring back the title to France, but if he was feeling so good, he could have worked.
And Sanchez congratulated him only because he is a nice guy and doesn't fume on anyone. Maybe also because at least he will win Polka Dot. |

And the other 100kms? He didn't really do more than follow attacks until Cadel moved off the front.
I also probably said that wrong, but I mostly just meant Andy wheelsucked much more than Cadel did (if he did at all), and so nobody should be bringing the Cadel wheelsucking thing up.

What a stages, thank you contador, evans and schleck! The dutch fans on alp were a disgrace, they remind me of the french fans after Hushovd's stagewin. We can't call them cyclingfans... |

Nah. Because this is the normal reaction pattern for you, and not for him - So it would be needless to point out for him that he is the sensitive one, when you claim Europcar to be doped, and then moving on to pick out some low-2000s time for the mountain. Those two things are clearly linked, and even if you try to say it isn't it's just too obvious.
And dip is something for chips, so I don't know what you want to suggest.
