  1. Did Axel rally thing Richard was going to wait for him at the top of the
    climb so that Axel could get the win? first of all he couldn't keep up and
    secondly it's Bastille Day and Richard is French (even though he lives in
    Switzerland now). Anyway get over it Axel, you're not your father, he
    wouldn't have gotten dropped!

    Does some fvvking pinhead like you think that any comments by a rider at the
    end of a really hard ride should be analyzed as if you had any idea what he
    went through?

    That's no excuse. Merckx should have kept his mouth shut.

    Actually, wouldnt it have been smarter for RV to wait for the summit to gap
    Axel and get the points (Axel wouldnt contest anyway, most likely) so he and
    Axel could work together on the descent and the following flat section?
    Then RV could just lose Axel on the last climb and still claim the win. It
    seems to me he worked a lot harder than he needed, and probably finished
    with a smaller time gain on the favs then he would if he had climbed with
    Axel on the hill in question. And he would have conserved more energy for
    the big hills to come. Personally, I was baffled by the tactic he chose.

    Why? Did you think that maybe Axel was towing [censored]'s skinny
    ass along the flats to get him that big time gap before the
    big climbs? If Merckx was no benefit to [censored], why agree to
    a deal?

  6. I thought Lefevere had taken my advise and had started posting on RBR, as he
    said exactly these words.

    He also added "Maybe it's time for Axel to quit cycling"
