Yea, he is defending like a champion should.

Unfortunately, it looks like today will not produce the fireworks we wanted.

Patience, my man.

 

[MartinGT]

Can anyone make some sort of list of who's in the main group?

Uran
Schlecks
Danielson
Bertie
Cuddles
Basso
Szymd

Thats what I know from audio

 

[maxmartin]

syltzmed purposely not working for Nibali in giro, conserve energy to work for Basso in the tour

 

[Jamsque]

Samu is going to win this stage unless someone attacks. Surely Cunego will go at some point?

 

[Parrulo]

I think Contador is about to pop

he is on andy's wheel but he isn't looking all that great

 

[sportzchick]

So nervous....

he was sick during the first 2 weeks of the giro. he worked for nibali on the finestre stage

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Sanchez is doing great with Vanendert

I think Contador is about to pop

I think he looks excellent, as does Andy.

He must attack. If he doesn't then Andy and Cadel will know all they need to know.

 

[The Hitch]

@hitch just because you say that is his best hope doesn't make it true.

He is having a fine ride.

And like Rujano he might just totaly blow up on Saturday. He is putting twice as much effort to get half the time. He will pay for that later at some point.

Contador looks okay now. Tommy D still in the house.

 

[Descender]

Epic stuff, historic... vive le Tour! vive la France!

 

[PedalCastro]

Frank to attack any second..

 

[Jeanne]

voeckler really surprises me, never thought he would be that strong today

 

[MartinGT]

So nervous....

Your or them

 

[b.broadhurst]

Shame Sanchez is 2+mins behind, otherwise he could be in yellow, gap is growing!!

 

[Anonymous]

Patience, my man.

I hope you're right...

 

[Jamsque]

Uran was struggling earlier but seems to have recovered. Good ride by him, with Gesink gone the white jersey is probably between him and Taaramae.

 

[Publicus]

Frank is the strongest of the two Schlecks. Someone should be attacking soon.

 

[TRDean]

Contador looks okay now. Tommy D still in the house.

How bad did he look?

 

[ericthesportsman6]

Samu's gap is actually growing.

 

[VeloCity]

Jesus, Voelcker. That's effin impressive after all he's done already.

 

[scullster46]

a lot of looking around going on right now
