contador deserves great respect for trying. true champion. even if i'm a fan, i'm ok with him not winning everything.

 

[just some guy]

Evans has the gap under 3 min now

 

[Ferminal]

Huge win for Evans dropping two of his nearest rivals. Evans only has to mark Andy and TV tomorrow.

 

[auscyclefan94]

schleck got 1:40 on virtual gc.

 

[AtletiSK]

why the hell are Basso and TV not working there? if not victory at least podium is in play for them

 

[indurain666]

GO CADEL! He's bloody flying

Is he? he is not gaining that much back from Andy...gap is steady at about 3 min

 

[Ney the Viking]

Well next year Riis will buy some better support, keep him out of crashes, and they will try again

 

[mickkk]

It is the best climb of Evans life, made up 1.5 min. Well done.

 

[The Hitch]

Andy onto last km. Its by far the steepest one though. Could take 2 or 3 minutees.

 

[Parrulo]

I agree. We should know what kind of rider he is by now.

exactly

Giro-Tour double is becoming harder with modern cycling. A mighty effort by ac anyway.

if contador can't do it. nobody can imo. its impossible in modern day cycling

 

[Alpe d'Huez]

I think Voeckler has to be limited.

With about 1km to go Frank is going to go, and I can't imagine anyone able to catch him. He's had a free ride for 70km.

 

[Winterfold]

what idiot said Berty would drop Cuddles?

Cant believe Basso isnt helping Evans - unless he just cannot

 

[Ferminal]

Cunego about to go.

 

[Ramira]

Evans really looks like he's struggling, I think Andy might actually increase the gap if no-one else pushes hard.

 

[ericthesportsman6]

look at Rolland coming to the front

 

[thrawn]

Major WTF. Now Rolland comes to work.

 

[TimChristy]

TV please attack!

 

[khodder]

Rolland going off the front?

 

[spalco]

contador deserves great respect for trying. true champion. even if i'm a fan, i'm ok with him not winning everything.

I'm not a fan, but I agree. Losing like a man is part of being a champ too.

 

[Sidbike]

Voeckler now goes to make up soem time

 

[auscyclefan94]

now europcar ride...

 

[Mellow Velo]

Voeckler goes for yellow.
Pretty awesome, really.

 

[ericthesportsman6]

Wow, they waited all this time to work....

 

[The Hitch]

Attack Tommy !!!!

 

[Winterfold]
