That's even worse than me picking Goss over Rojas :p

Could be for Goss.

On the race: @inrng the Inner Ring 15km done and the race is averaging 55km/h as riders try to get away but half the peloton wants to be in the move that goes clear today. On the employee: @inrng the Inner Ring One of the race staff was found dead in the Luye river near finish line...

:( sad news. Would explain the meeting.

Meanwhile on twitter: @jsachse Jonathan Sachse Complete ASO-Team is sitting together. Rumor:stage will be cancel/ shorten because of the weather. Or is it about the snow on Galibier? #TdF Update: Michael Tomalaris - Confirmation: For now the end of stage into Gap will NOT be neutralised. #sbstdf

That is exactly it though, they should put these stages on workdays. Keep weekends free for Luz & Galibier in stead of the middle of the week.

Are we there yet? Why aren't we there yet? zzzzzzzz

In this Tour so far? Sammy, Thor and Phil.

Typo providing more entertainment than the stage so far.

If Voeckler, in yellow, cracks on the Alpe, beware of the crowd.

Phil lost more than 9 minutes going up Plateau. That puts him well out of any GC-contention. If he wants the green, those two stages are opportunities to grab some points back on Cav. So yeah, I expect Phil to go crazy on one or both of the stages.

early escape: Terpstra - Quickstep Delage - Francaise Dumoulin - Cofidis Ignatiev - Katusha Delapace - Sau

Watch him take 30 min on the stage to the Galibier ;)

Yes, according to his own twitter he's starting.

He was completely wrecked by the time that TT came along though. If he starts the TT in yellow, I would not expect him to lose more that 2:30-3:00 on the best GC-contender. I think it'll go something like: Contador Evans +0:45 Basso +1:15 Sanchez +1:30 Andy +1:45 Frank +2:00 Voeckler...
