Tour de France stage 9 wrap up
July 17th, 2007 |Who was good today?
Alberto Contador. It seemed that Disco was the only team that could execute a strategy. Contador stormed up the Galibier to meet up with his team mate Yaroslav Popovych who rode 1 and 2 towards Briancon. If the finish had not been so far from the summit of the Galibier Disco’s move might have paid off better.
Cadel Evans was hanging tough on the final climb and, for a moment, I actually saw him stick his nose in the wind for a few hundred meters.
Kloden’s butt must not be so bad for him to finish in the top 10 today. Vino on the other hand…not good.
Did you see Chris Horner climbing with the second group today? Holy crap, I did not know he could climb that well.
Moreau was suffering on the Galibier but rode within himself to limit his losses and rode back to the first group on the decent. The French have to be going ape shit at the thought he could win the Tour.
Who lost the Tour today? Vino. Frank Schleck. Denis Menchov.
