Hermans finished with Yannick Ejissen and both those guys dropped at the same time so I think Ejissen paced him all the way up the climb. Cadel probably wouldn't have been as good of a pace setter as Ejissen, since Ejissen is used to being a domestique, so Cadel sitting back wouldn't have really...

1. Tommy D 2. Horner 3. Anacona 4. Hermans 5. Kelderman 6. Evans 7. Jones 8. Diniz 9. Bennett 10. Probably Busche

http://www.cyclingtorrents.nl is what Angrilu is talking about. It uses BitTorrent, which means that you don't have to worry about pausing downloads or having a constant internet connection. The files are big though, which means unless you compress them on your own you will need a Blu Ray or two...

I call it the placebo effect personally.

Chris Froome needs a new contract. Europcar needs a foreign leader, preferably one with a lot of World Tour points like, say, the 2nd place finisher of a Grand Tour. Put 2 and 2 together people.

Didn't someone say this event would be hailed as a great milestone for cycling by the sponsors? Because JB just said, "This is a great milestone for our team and our global sport."

I just read that Jakob Fuglsang / Linus Gerdemann / Oliver Zaugg / Dominic Klemme / Anders Lund / Martin Mortensen / Martin Pedersen / Thomas Rohregger / Tom Stamsnijder / Bruno Pires / Davide Viganò / Jens Voigt / Robert Wagner / Fabian Wegmann / Will Clarke / Brice Feillu are all going to BMC...

The Vuelta website is saying Cancellara was 10th on the stage. I cannot believe that's true. When did Poels lose a bunch of time? I know he was good on the J-Rod-won stages and he has been riding well this weekend, yet he is only 10th overall.

I'd say some of the guys don't actually know where they are going. Albasini may have just meant that everyone had a contract offer, thus assuring that, as he said, they would all have teams for next year. Perhaps some of the guys want to stick together and they haven't arranged which team they...

Chris Baldwin (+2:38 on GC) and Dave Z are about 15 seconds behind the Basso/Schleck break. EDIT: And now those two only have 10 seconds on the peleton??? The main break seems to have about 1:45 on the "peleton" at this point.

I'm assuming everyone else saw this, but I find Jani complaining about anyone wheelsucking Leipheimer to be one of the funniest things I have read all month.

Someone is off the front. Hard to tell if it is TJVG or the Endura rider who attacked a little bit ago. EDIT: JACK BAUER!!! Saving the country and winning races. What a champ.

UHC are doing the chasing, probably for Robert Forster. That was a nasty crash too, there were at least 15 guys down all over the road

l'Ain is always a good race imo. I hope the Columbians put on a show on the Grand Columbier. I'm tipping Pierre Rolland although it is hard to know how he is feeling after racing very hard in the Tour. No Voeckler kinda makes me sad, it would be nice to see if the Tour was a fluke or if he has...

The Poles seem to have their coverage in order. Does anyone have an English stream though?
