Tour de France stage 15 *spoiler*

Andy really needed Cancellara up the road today. That way he could have neutralized the stage when Schleck got into trouble.0
-
So...who thinks Armstrong's going to criticize Contador's move?0
-
So, so far this Tour Contador has caught and passed his teammate (and in some ways boss) to deny him a stage win for a gain of 10 secs and then he attacks his rival when he has a mechanical.
Not winning many friends this Tour.
Perhaps there is a silver lining in the form of him being to contrite to do that awful pistolero salute when he dons the maillot jaune.It's a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don't quit when you're tired. You quit when the gorilla is tired.0 -

Gutted - Andy looked good putting a dig in near the top - chain comes off twice - super climb to get it back to 13 secs at the top - no help on the descent. Hope he's comes out fighting in the next few days. A great ride.0

Roche from Eurosport saying that its in the heat of the action and its shlecks fault for making a mistake and dropping his chain!

I hope Schleck kicks some major ass in the coming days.Mañana0

Fair play, a thing of the past?0

Unless Andy can pull out a miracle, this ruins the rest of the tour.0

Chapeau Tommy V and the Box. Cofidis only, for the grand slam.
Worse yet for Andy is that Samu and Dennis M are now within striking distance of him, for the ITT.
Yesterday's track standing biting him the ass.
I think it will be a fired up Schleck, on the Tourmalet, come Thursday."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -
A bit of drama, but I can't see it changing much. Contador will probably decisively win the Tour in the final TT unless Schleck can take significant time out of him on the Tourmalet. Of course Contador might just stuff Schleck there as well.0
-
The problem for Andy is that tomorrow, even if he can take time on the mountain, he'll likely lose it on the descent.0
-
It's a race and it was already slowed down in the first week to give AS a chance - how many does he need.? When Millars chain came off some years back or broke last year I didn't see anyone handing him any time back.
Look at the bright side - Saxo now have to go 5h1t or bust in the next 2 days so expect some big action.M.Rushton0 -
WOW. Looking at that again, Andy had a 6 meter gap on Contador (3 meters on Vino) WHEN HIS CHAIN BROKE!! Ugh.0
-
so should Contador have kept racing as Andy lost the chain? They are talking about that on the telly, whats the "etiquette" for that sort of thing?0

Samu saying for spanish tv that on the pave him and bertie had problems and andy didnt wait.x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

* Not for him to say whether fair or not BUT he would not have attacked if it happened to Contador
* He said he's full of anger
* He's going to get his revenge0 -
andy looked pretty strong to me...
oh the drama
sram eh...
I think Andy can dump everyone in the hills if he goes all out
contador..winning the jersey like that...oh oh oh we will see,
end up starting a cycling feud that lasts the best part of a decade"If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way.

It's disgusting.
Menchov and Sammy S are dirty rats too! Armstrong WAS right about AC.
I hope AC falls off his bike tomorrow and gets bitten on the bum for it.
AC might end up winning the Tour, but the cycling community knows who the moral victor is.
Actually I hope Schleck smashes the cheating little runt on the tourmalet, grabs 2 mins and holds on in the ITT, then sign up for Lance's team just so the Hog and LA can torment him forever.0 -

Exactly. They were delayed by Franks swan dive, and Andy turned on the gas.
It makes the Tour even more rubbish but hey ho...Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.0 -

I like and respect Roche but c'mon how the hell can he blame Andy for that?
He just explained it. Schleck not knowing how to gears properly, putting too much force on the groupset while shifting too suddenly. Roche saying that not me (although I agree with him)Twitter: @RichN950 -

nebulous... shifts about a lot these days depending on if you actually gain or not."If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way.
