    no gifts. weak sprint by lance, although he got up to third he was too tired and sat up.

    that's the end of him kids. no more lance. we'll NOT see him show in the TT

    Ha ha, on the line it is Fedrigo, Casar and Molina. Looks like it might have been a straight sprint after all. A win for Fedrigo, a bigger win for the credibility of cycling. :wink:

    Seems as though I know about as much about cycling as Sean Kelly. :lol:

    It would be interesting to know if the checkbooks did come out at any point.

    Picked him for Tarbres, last year and didn't today. Idiot! :oops:
    Fedrigo was always winning a sprint.

    Right, Armstrong didn't pay to win that. Now are you going to shut up?

    Fedrigo wins it by a nose! (I'll get my coat...)

    Shame the peloton decided to take a rest day a day early and that Armstrong didn't deliver the fairytale ending for those who 'believe' - but 6 wins for the French? That's a hell of a Tour they're having!

    Doesn't mean that some in the break weren't amenable to doing a deal, as Kelly himself pointed out might have been the case. Also, an agreement might still have been reached for the main protagonists to not do too much to chase down the break, so at least giving Armstrong a chance of 'glory'.

    Almost certainly not if he leaves it to the final 5km, as is customary these days.

    So you reckon he paid off about six or seven teams to do exactly what they were going to do anyway?

    My god, you're desperate.

    No irony, just your usual contradictions. You said everyone in the YJ group was on a cafe ride, but Kelly didn't agree. Then Kelly says something that corresponds with something you did say, and that's OK.

    It's almost as if your one of these kn8bs who selectively pick things out of events to suit their bias, you almost make that other tool Aurelio look intelligent

    No, you quoted Kelly but made a big, unsubstantiated jump in interpreting what he actually meant. You said:

    As I pointed out previously, what Kelly said might well have been true given the huge size of the group and the number of 'non-climbers' who were somehow still up there. This does not mean that the peleton was riding hard. The very size of the group, not to mention the pace they were climbing at, suggests otherwise.

    So that's a "no" then? :wink:
