MartinGT said:I am not a "hater" of any number one cyclist on here like some are (either Bertie or AS, or FS).
I have money on Evans so I am rooting for him, but I must say, Im gutted to see Bertie dropping like that. He is poetry in motion when at full belt.
Alpe d'Huez said:I have to say this was probably the most dramatic Tour stage I've seen in years. And it's definitely the most gutsy attack I've seen in many years. Especially from someone often criticized for not taking any chances.
This is also the best Tour I've seen in several years. The early crashes sucked, but this has been a great Tour. We've seen close Tours in recent years, but none this exciting and unpredictable.

MKirilenko said:Can someone with a practical knowledge of cycling can explain me, how in the name of God, Schleck gained so much time on descent and flat(minor ascent) against 40 guys, including some top domestiques?
ps. This Tour should be named "Where is Contador". If Contador isnt (counter)attacking, its ok to let Andy go. Wake up Evans. Deja vu from Sastre 2008?

The Hitch said:Andy just did 3 hours at 200%. Evans did 30 minutes. I wont be surprised if Andy loses 20 minutes tomorow.
ak-zaaf said:You're sad that a GC contender has the balls to attack with 60km to go and actually wins it? Wow.

Amsterhammer said:Agree with all the above. The Yellow Cojones Award goes jointly to Andy, Cadel, and TV, as we wave goodbye to AC. The TT is really going to be something too!
What a glorious, fantastic, heroic, epic day's racing!!![]()
