Cadel takes the yellow today on the way to Paris tomorrow. I've been waiting for a mountain biker to win the Tour for a while now. Stoked for Cadel. this was a fun Tour to watch.
A mountainbiker to win the Tour de France!
- Thread starter slyfink
- Start date
I happy about that. Cadel has come in second so many times through out his career(Worlds, the Tour) I am happy to see him get the jersey and the recognition he deserves
Hate to by cynical, but that sounds about right.
amazing how things turn out when you take away someones adulterated Spanish steaks.....
It's a good thing that I watched the tour this morning instead of waiting to watch it in the evening like we usually do...
I doubt that he will flunk a drug test. The schleks are just that terrible at ITT's, plus the past two days looked like it was Andy's doing in as he looked even flatter than he normally is in a TT. Where Evans paced himself to just damage control over the previous two stages.
SSSSSsssshhhhhh Landis who? (PS. if Cadel fails a piss test I shall use this response again until we find out who the 'clean' winner is)
Anyone who has made it through the three weeks of hell that is the TDF deserves far more credit (fiscally and socially) than they get

Go Team Volvo/Cannondale!
I'm happy for him, but really sad to see Voeckler miss the podium. He rode his balls off.
I dig watching the tour. Doping scandal or not. They all dope, so let the best cheater win I say.
Cadel deserves to win, especially telling Andy to F.O. pulling them up D'huez.

I've been rooting for Cadel ever since he was chasing Rasmussen up the Pyrenees, only to see him banned later. the thing is, he'd expended valuable energy chasing down the wrong guy, and didn't have much left to chase (was it Alberto or Sastre that year?) the eventual winner.
plus i think Cadel is a down-to-earth classy guy. of course, i don't know him and i could be wrong, but i that's how he comes off in the media.
What a complete dickhead of a thread title, cheers ****wit.
anyone else enjoying the fact that Contador missed the podium?
Fail to see what is dickhead about his thread title, unless you are viewing it from a fixie hipster Eurotrash bike snob point of view, then yeah...
Cheerios, dude!
Too right, title should have been "Australian Legend Wins TdF"
"Squeaky voiced nutter wins TDF"
Happy for Cuddles, Chapeaux.

He's known for being a total cock actually. Still, he probably deserved the win.
How about the fact it was instantly obvious who was now leading the tour when I read the title, been away all weekend and was looking forward to catching up on the highlights I'd recorded.
So you're looking to avoid spoilers but you come here. Are you retarded?
Clearly. Normally people are smart enough to leave the spoilers insidethe thread.
its the internet. surf at your own risk asshat. especially during july
also, apparently amy winehouse's death WAS drug related, she was training for the TdF
You make a decent point but I still think I was entitled to my pathetic bitch whine despite not having the necessary maturity/will power to stay the hell away from the internet!
Sastre ......
[raises hand]
LOL! I always chuckle when he opens his mouth and speaks. Especially after the boomin' bass voice of Andy Schlek.
I did the same thing. Stayed out of the road forum, came here by habit.
Now, granted, it wasn't that big a spoiler because I knew AS was going to suck donkey balls in the TT and had zero expectation that he would win, barring a horrific accident that took out the 15 guys who started before he did...
So are all the Contador haters Lance Fanboys?
Me too
no just don't buy the tainted spanish beef BS
All the Contador haters I know hated him long before that ever happened. They just happen to be Lance fan-boys. They of course ignore the evidence against Lance using significantly more effective drugs.no just don't buy the tainted spanish beef BS
what about those of us who hate them both?
No problem with that. No problem with anyone hating any of them. That is what sports is all about for a spectator, find someone you like or don't, cheer or jeer them on. I just like to figure out why people like who they do.

Contador! Don't piss him off....
