It's clear that Bernard Hinault runs the presentation show. Tapping the podium girls on the **** when they need to present a lion or a bear or whatnot.

Who else?

Gee can go either way tomorrow. Interesting to see what the odds from the bookmakers will be. If Evans loses, he will be this generation's Poulidor.

Poulidor was popular though.

Sammy didn't deserve to win. He clearly just became Contador's domestique which is why he attacked Evans after he had done a lot of work to get him within distance.
Is this self-parody?

Are you an idiot? Without Samu's move Contador would have won the freaking stage.

He attacked Cuddles for the polkadots and the stage win. By no means was he working for Contador.

Yes and yes.

Absolutely it will be hard. There was a thread somewhere comparing TT times of Schleck and Evans. It's really, really close. Impossible to predict imo.

That was one of the best rides I have ever seen by Cadel....simply amazing!

Today and yesterday were two of his best. Did not panic just did what he had to do. Very impressive. He and andy won't have any trouble sleeping tonight after the events of the last two stages. They must dead tired. Brave ride by Contador. Two of the best TDF stages for ages.

He needs 1.34 seconds on Schleck per km.

OH FKK!! Is that a lot. there will be the hills which should suit cadel and andy. However according to andy he says he himself sucks at the hills;)

Umm Samu attacked for polka dots. If he had stayed with Evans he wouldnt have won the polka dot.

Why do you Cadel fanboys try so hard to make us hate him. I want to like him for tomorow but with stupid comments like this it becomes difficult.

Points only for top 6. And only 8 for 5th, 4 for 6th so Andy needed to win his group to take polka dot.

In mountain-top finishes the points are doubled, but they are not credited to any more riders than during the stage.
