Just woke up... How did Andy get so far ahead? Where did he attack?

I feel like I'm dreaming, seeing Andy the one out in front like this, attacking early. LOL!

Solo attack with 60km to go. Pretty awesome.

He attacked early on the Izoard, pulled out 1 minute quickly, had 2 minutes at the top where he soon caught up with a teammmate and got another minute on the descent (!), the other favourites are super-passive for some reason.

If they don't catch Andy before the steeper parts they are in trouble. Saxo Bank / Euskaltel / BMC have to burn all their helpers in the valley.

And they all let him go?

Seems like a good gap. Very bold. He might actually stay out...

Right now I think he'll stay away, the question is by how much though and will he pay for it tomorrow. 3 minute 16 is a lot of time for someone like Andy to lose on a climb.

I dont' care for her posts... but I always find people who ask others not to quote people they have on ignore extremely irritating.

No, I'm not going to change my behavior because you're having a stupid internet spat with another poster. Feel free to place me on ignore as well if that bothers you.

It was a joke, sir.

... OK it was a half-joke.

Hopefully not. Cadel is the one in the drivers seat, let him and his team do the driving.

What team? A spent Bookwalter? And throw away any chance of a win (for AC and SS)? You must be joking! No more time for tactics.

Team seemed pretty good on stage 1 and 2. Contador and Samu didnt get any help from BMC then. BMC want help now, i say they stick it up (well you get the point).

Just how i feel, unfortunately EE probably will work:(
