@ Swingingpick -
Never said you did. More pointing towards your ascertion that their prices should have been closer together. |

ASchleck may pour it on here on the 2nd half

You are contradicting yourself, mate. Cheers, SP |

Plenty of Evans doubters with egg on their face coming up.
Cadel is FLYING. |
|
By:
Evans only 7 seconds slower than Tony Martins time at second time check. He is riding like a man possessed.

Never stated as such reread the thread. Cheers, SP. |
|
By:
never said you did it was born lucky who somehow percecived Evans was past his best
a bizzare statement of the highest order after this week. |
|
By:
Swingingpick is very defensive Geoff.

I completely disagree. Evans is now 34 and well past his best. Must be watching a different Tour De France to the rest of us. 11.38 this morning is hardly jumping in know is it Read the thread before you make yourself look a numpty |

Second in the TT. Worthy Champion.

Well done Cadel, you deserve it. Killed the Time Trial. Never gave Andy a sniff today.
|
|
By:
Would be nice to see him do what Schleck did in the Alps on Thursday,but i guess when you can time trial like that he dont need to.
Hats off to them all,its been a great 3 weeks,and well done Evans. Anyone who comes out on top in this race deserves all credit. |

Ace reply to @bornunlucky. Ha-ha! I wouldn't regard as analysis of the highest order, at all. I've learnt to take into account the figures in the market more than the figures in competition. No worries, it was a great performance by Evans, he's proved the doubters wrong, I was one of them. Congratulation Evans, a masterful performance! Cheers, SP. |

By:
agree budd... always think of the TDF as climbing those big mountains... i wish TT was yesterday and mountain today but been a good TDF
|
|
By:
what'd be the reaction if schleck just floors it tomorrow??
|
|
By:
Be hilarious,but unfortunately it wont happen.
Highlight of the tour for me was Thursday,thats what i like to see,and for me thats how i would like the winner of the race determined,but alas the Time trial is part of the race and thats the way it is. Thats my thoughts anyway. |

@NonShy..
It's been an excellent Tour, the best in years, considering how open it's been for so long, and all the machinations presenting throughout. It's really been a fan's tour. The way the stages are set-up is always open to argument and preferance, but we have to remember that the logistics are complicated in ferrying the Tour around, and figuring out the most natural way to allow the riders to cover the distance without going over the same ground. It's tricky, but for the most part it seems to work well. I take your point that the mountain stage yesterday, today, would have been interesting. However, one hour thereabouts today was thrilling. Cheers, SP |

The climbers had 4 really difficult mountian stages to put time on Cadel, in the end they couldn't shake him. Cadel more than wiped out their advantage in one time trial. There can be no excuses. Cadel is a worthy winner.

I thought if it came down to 3 seconds either way between them, it might have raised some question marks about something different to that of a procession into Paris. He-he. Now, it's just joy and a flute of champers for Evans, good on him!
Cheers, SP |

4th in the Green Jersey. 4th in the King of the Mountains. 2nd in the Time Trial.
The complete rider. |
|
By:
He looked pretty shaken on Thursday,and Friday at times.
However i agree he is a worthy winner,as anyone who wins this race should be. |
|
By:
best Tour De France I can recall.
Cracking stuff pleasure to watch the "past his best" Evans showing the benefit of experience . Exceptional all round performance |
|
By:
In retrospect, Evans definitely looked best over the last few days. I think a poster said this earlier. In conclusion, their prices weren't closer because they just weren't that close on this occasion.
Evans: A complete rider, who finally proved me wrong, okay that's how egg tastes, congrats Evans! Cheers, SP |
|
By:
I don't think Cadel was alone there. Pretty much everybody looked shaken at some stage or another during the mountain stages. Contador looked shaken two days ago. Andy looked shaken in the Pyrenees.

By:
yeh,fair points Aussie.
Hes a great winner,he can climb and time trial.Armstrong,Indurain and Contador have all proved in recent years that thats a deadly combination,and could be a reason maybe why the brothers will never win the race. |
