Tour talk -- Spoiler alert

Yeah, did you SEE that ride uphill just passing these world class riders like they were...me! Damn, that was impressive.

But what would make a chain skip like that? I heard someone mention grinding through the gears or something like that.

And I love how Voekler was bowing and honoring the crowd on his way in. Vive la France!

Not sure what Any did since I haven't watched the video yet but from personal experience I can't count how many times I have dropped MY chain. For me it happens when I'm already in one chain ring and all the way at the highest or lowest gear there and try to keep going. When it finally stopped happening to me I thought it had just been me repeatedly making a rookie mistake or not paying attention or what have you. And then a couple of weeks ago it happened AGAIN. At first it sounds like the gear just won't "catch" and then I keep fiddling with the shifter trying to make it catch and then, well, that's that... welcome to chain-dump city

My heart was in my stomach listening to the coverage on yahoo uk eurosports... I'm almost afraid to actually watch the coverage. Such a gut wrenching feeling

I predict it will light a fire in Andy and he'll be on a mission now.

I guess you haven't seen Andy giving this post race interview
