TdF Stage 1

Sadly I think was master of his own demise, but accidents happen. I think his desire to get a yellow jersey made him desperate and a bit dangerous.

The big mistake was OPQS going on the front too soon. That undulating finish really took it out of them and left Cav without a train. To be fair it sort of blew the peloton apart. Hence Cancellara’s attempt, and so Cav was left to fend for himself. 350m from the line with your only perceivable chance of a TdF jersey and you’d fight tooth and nail for it. But he put too much on the line.

As for calling Gerrans arrogant, if you knew what you were talking about at all you know you would struggle to find a nicer person in the peleton.
Feel free to ask around.

There’s 3 for you oh and froome

I agree , 3 top blokes …. am I wrong about Gerrans tho am I, ok.
Froome tho COUGH….LOL yeah everyone loves froomey, Ask Wiggo.
BTW Spartacus is my FAV rider, Oh hang on he isn’t Australian.
Marco Pantani my all time fav, lucky I am half Sicilian, I guess. Love Jan Ullrich too.

You asked for riders you got them , as for wiggo prima donna but ur now going off topic

Simple fact is you jumped and always do on the crash to blame anyone but gerro….my point holds as a fan you should have been more concerned about the riders and also be able to listen rather than getting so aggressive vin regards to anyone else’s opinion

You started the whole crash debate no one else

OK, reason is clearly wasted on you VVV73, let’s try sarcasm (with added CAPSLOCK BECAUSE THATS CLEARLY MORE YOUR THING).

I blame Gerrans, it’s CLEARLY his fault because he’s Australian. Aussies all have CHIPS on their SHOULDERS because they’re DESCENDED FROM CRIMINALS. If he’d been properly British he’d have better manners in a sprint and know when to get out of the way of faster sprinters. I mean WHAT was an old man like that doing TRYING to CONTEST a sprint in a major race like the TOUR DE FRANCE.

As my dad would say Aussies don’t like it up-em! That phrase was picked up watching the All Black’s bulldoze the Aussies whilst living and growing up in New Zealand 8}

You sir are turning into a blinkered tool ….

As a true cycling fan you should be more concerned about how the riders are rather than sticking the blame anywhere …..it’s a pro Sprint there will be nudging, elbows ,heads going in all over the place but obviously because an Aussie was involved it had to be someone else’s fault #o[/quote]
Cause until I came along all , no one was here to defend Aussie’s like Cadel against Gkam and rest of Anti Australian here.
One of the best Ambasssdor’s the sport has ever had, and I am not even a fan of him personally, but I respect every thing he has done on and off the bike.

Nothing wrong with a bit of race analysis. If you think it is heated here, try some of the other forums…….
Just as an aside, Petacchi was dead last 14 odd mins down. No idea if he will be eliminated, not a good day for Omega Pharma.
Talansky was 4 odd mins down, but I believe is getting same time as winners, but still shoes on Le Tour site.
