  2. #142, based on the live audio of the race, Contador­ never led that breakaway, so he can't really be­ blamed for the Schleck brothers gaining time. Of­ course he could have taken the lead, then pedaled­ slowly. What hurt Armstrong more, was having to give­ up that first attempt to catch up, half way up that­ last climb, when Wiggins followed. Don't know­ whether that was his decision or his director's,­ but if he had kept going then, instead of waiting till­ near the top, he might have been in second now.

  3. Contador Astana team has done evil. By making­ unnecessary attacks on the 16.stage, therefore Schleck­ and his brother were taken by Contador against to­ Kloden and Amstrong . This was not done the wrong time­ against the stage at the end of yesterday's general­ Amstron ranked second, third was Kloden. This is evil­ for Astana . Contador was selfish act. This is a­ violation of team solidarity.

  7. And in NASCAR Mark Martin has 4 wins and sits eleventh­ in standings, while Juan Pablo Montoya has no wins, not­ even a top five but sits ninth overall, which rankles­ some fans of that sport too

  11. #ian.andrews5 -so why are you even here if you find­ cycling so objectionable? What you describe as faults­ are the strengths of Cycling and on the contrary, the­ rules, like the rules of Chess, are easy to understand­ and complicated in a good strategic way. It's­ perfectly understandable that despite your verbosity,­ you find Cycling too difficult to understand and follow­ and there's no shame in that. Indeed, there are­ sports and activities that probably fit you much better­ and I'm sure they have forums and discussion­ boards. Cycling is quite exciting, the Tour has always­ been a drama filled test of strength and endurance­ unlike any other sport. It's a shame you can't­ see that. Or perhaps you were just Trolling? Yesterday­ Thor drove up the last hill and picked up a win and is­ now a point behind Cavendish in the Sprinters Green­ Jersey competition, the King of the Mountain Jersey­ changed hands and will change hands again, the Yellow­ will likely be out of Fabian's grip at the end of­ today's race but who will come out on top? Pretty­ darn exciting to my mind.

  12. Of course it happens in motorsport, it's all about­ consistency. In motorsport, motogp for example, 10 5th­ places will always beat 2 1st places plus 8 10th­ places; it's a team sport that requires tactics to­ win.

  13. Comment hidden due to its low rating. Show

    How curiously old fashioned and arcane races like the­ Tour de France are! They must be the only type of race­ series where someone can win a high proportion of the­ stages (as Mark Cavendish has to date), yet appear way­ down in the classement general. It wouldn't happen­ in motor sport, for instance. It means that some­ cyclists (even winners) can get round the whole race­ simply by ensuring they are tucked away in some part of­ the peloton that gets a nominal timing at each stage. ­ We have the technology to make the whole race a time­ trial - each cyclist already has a transponder, so his­ exact finishing time can be recorded. Simply start the­ race clock when the last man has crossed the start­ line. Knock off the last five or ten at each stage. ­ Much more transparent, much more competitive, much more­ entertaining and much fairer. Tour cycling has enough­ trouble holding its audience without such a weird and­ unfathomable ranking system. Let's face it, a lot­ of the time, if it weren't for the scenery, the­ racing is pretty tedious. And even the scenery can be­ boring sometimes. No wonder the commentators digress­ so much...........are they bored too at times?

  14. Got £25 each way on Yaroslav Popovych at 150/1. I know­ he won't win the Tour De France, as he has to be a­ donkey for Armstrong and Contador, but he can excel in­ the mountains if doesn't have to do too much work­ for them. Good rider in his own right, and podium­ prospects in Paris.

  15. unbelievable! i didn't see any efforts from the big­ names to catch the break away.

    From Lito, on Wed 8 Jul 4:24PM

  16. I think Mark Cavendish don't win this stage.

    From aluysal, on Wed 8 Jul 3:55PM

  17. My favourite is Lance Armstrong.

  18. Why are some of the live posts being cut off at the­ end? The posts er the various jerseys for example, they­ are being cut short without being finished. And as for­ the result of yesterdays poll, looks like we will never­ find out..

    From Ian OS, on Wed 8 Jul 1:49PM

  19. The Actual Start isn't due until 12:45 French Time,­ they're just doing the pre-start at the moment,­ hopefully we will get our commentary then!

    From Richard, on Wed 8 Jul 11:44AM

  20. Nice one Cavo 2 in a row
