    Just seen the highllights from ITV4 - God Gary Imlach / Boulting & Co are creaming their pants at the thought of Contador getting beat....You would think the Shreckle Brothers were Pantani & Delgdo at this rate !!!

    Its weird because usually ITV love the dopers, probably got a bee in their bonnet because Contador has not yet been denounced as a doper. Phil and Paul still like to throw armstrongs name about and have a mutual tug about it.

    Are LeoTURD shrek turning into the new U.S.Postal/Discovery/Rshack the team to hate ? :D

    LeoTURD :lol:

    I just hope the Schlecks never move to HTC, Omega, Garmin, Astana, Sky, BMC, Europcar, Katusha, Lampre, Liquigas, Movistar, Quickstep, Rabobank, Saxobank, Shack, Vaconsoliel, Any French and Belgian Team, Any other team that ride bikes.

    Next Stop X Factor...they do already look like putrid arrogant adolescents who think that they are the pinnacle of evolution...I am sure that they will do well infront of some equally nauseating panel of f*ckwitts...

    I think i prefer Jedward.

    The sad thing is, nobody is here defending them, which means they must have better lives than me. :(

    Ive got Bertie in the PTP but to be honest, its far to close to call tomorrow.

    Thinking we will see bertie in the alps next week - Can predict tomo with LeoTURD riding fast on the 2nd to last climb. Hope it's not a damp squib....maybe voeckler will attack 8)

    Anyone else think the Schlecks are playing a dangerous game letting Frank do the attacking in the mountains and Andy Schleck sitting in. What will their tactics be if Frank gets the yellow jersey?

    I can easily envisage a situation arising whereby they go into the final Time Trial with Frank 1st and Andy 2nd and both of them being overhauled by Evans and/or Contador.

    The last time Frank wore the yellow jersey (but with only a small lead) his team mate attacked on Alpe d'Huez and won the Tour. Something similar may happen.

    Omega will make it hard over the first climb, to try & put Cav in difficulty

    Could be fun, watching Cav battling to avoid elimination would be more interesting than waiting for the GC guys to finally grow a pair and launch a real attack. If they do manage to drop Cav he will likely be joined by many more (too many to send home?) would he be docked points?

    Cavendish isn't THAT bad a climber. He gets dropped early because he's smart enough to go as little into his reserves as possible.

    He'll be in the big bus with all the other flatlanders, probably being driven by Cancellara or Hushovd.

    He won't struggle to get within the time limit. The decents today are particularly good places to gain some time if you have some balls too, which most people in the bus have. Fast but technical (as opposed to a bunch of hairpin bends), and the roads aren't too bad.

    Where does this rubbish keep coming from, people talking about OPL getting Cav eliminated. It would be the most ridiclous tactic as all they'd do is get part of their team eliminated too (particularly Greipel). As Rick said, Cav is probably no worse a climber than most of the guys in the Autobus so unless he's ill or something then a lot of guys are going to get eliminated with him.

    It's either going to be Contador or the Shlecks to attack tomo - Evans is a follower and Basso has no speed to attack it's more of a try ride the guy of my wheel attack with him. Will be intersting to see how this guy from Omega Pharma goes too VanHire something ? 8)

    Vanendert? He will need Van Hire if he wants a top 10 finish..............................Tumbleweed.
