FFS if cadel had a mechanical, that would be the reason he was getting dropped - it's not a coincidence they happened at the same time. think before you post.

Evans isn't clever enough to fake a mechanical.

He had a mechanical. He was in waaay too big a gear when Contador went, he nearly stopped dead on the spot because he couldn't drop down gears. Guessing it was a rear-derailleur issue.

why on earth doesnt andy work? Is he waiting for frank again?

Because either:

1) He's tired from yesterday and doesn't have the energy.

or 2) This is a desperate move much like Andy's yesterday, and Andy isn't desperate anymore.

what people fail to realise (or ignore) is Evens is not esplosive but more a grider who will grind his way back rather than use quick explosive pace to counter quickly....

he's not going to get back he will only lose time for here on

hes capable of pulling this back in the decent...if he can is another question

Cadel can't grind back to Contador though!!
 
Just starting following the coverage.... holy @#$@#. Contador from 90km out. This thread will be bigger than yesterday's... ;)

Also, Voeckler drops Frank Schleck on the first climb? Seriously? hmmm...

Andy's tactics today are weird

If he rides with Contador Andy can win the Tour:confused:

andy should help bertie!!!!!

he can win the tour today in one of the most epic ways ever!!!!

p.s. keep helping him Rui!!!!

Remember the effort Andy put in yesterday. He won't help out until he's certain he won't blow himself up. I guess we'll know how good he feels by how early he starts to help out.

No way that Andy should work with Contador here. The only way Andy can lose the tour is if he blows up, the only way he'll possibly blow up is if he works too much.
