Criterium du Dauhpine 2012
Postby MichaelB » Mon Jun 04, 2012 10:30 am
Turbo Durbo takes the prologue and Gerro is in 6th. Evans does well and is 9th only 6 seconds down.
Abandandy is 102nd, 29 seconds off the pace already
Oh, and fired a broadside a Big Johann about his use of the press ... definitely one big happy camp at RSNT

Cadel also looked like he was giving it all... Never seen him bobbing around so much in a tt!.
Going to be interesting once the get to the climbs!... Grand Colombier & Col de la Colombiere on consecutive days .

Apparently there is still 2 1/2 years that the Sclecklets are under contract to Big Johanngrasshopper wrote:MB, definitely not happy families at Schleckshack. Johan must be pretty confident about his contract, or he doesn't care for the gig maybe.

With the amount of TT kms in TdF, he's going to have to attack every single climb.find_bruce wrote:It was great to see that Bruyneel's motivational speaking has had a powerful effect on Schleck the younger, either that or he is saving himself for the TdF
And win.
Not going to happen if Cadel keeps this form.

I love this from the CN report
Also dropped, and more surprisingly, was Andy Schleck of RadioShack-Nissan. Riding next to Astana's Alexandre Vinokourov, the younger Schleck crossed the finish line more than three minutes after Evans, which will undoubtedly bring the next lecture from Johan Bruyneel.
Insert double facepalm de-motivational poster here.
Can't wait to hear Abandonandy's excuse for this one ....
The TdF 2012 is shaping up to be acracker between Wiggo & Cadel. If Abandonandy's TT skills are anything to go by, he'll have to make up up to 10 minutes for the TT's that are planned

The story of one mans quest to drop off the back of a peloton and find his missing brother. Look forward to love, tears and a furious DS as this drama unfolds against a stunning French backdrop. Cameo appearance by Johan Brunyeel!

Awww, dissapointingly Bruyneel is taking a conciliatory approach and that he really does love Abandonandy.grasshopper wrote:They might not make it to 8 months, let alone 2.5 years.MichaelB wrote:I love this from the CN reportInsert double facepalm de-motivational poster here.Also dropped, and more surprisingly, was Andy Schleck of RadioShack-Nissan.

Recently it was reported that I said only Fabian Cancellara was guaranteed a spot on the Tour team. That is not what I said. Translations need to be correct. What I said was based on results Cancellara was the only one guaranteed to be on the Tour team," he clarified. "It takes nine riders to ride the Tour. Of course Andy will be there.

What? Cadel has raced about 10 minutes this year and came out and gave them a collective kicking.
