[sulgpallur]

well done TV

 

[Jeanne]

and Frank second

 

[spalco]

Wow, major props to Voeckler for hanging on.

 

[ericthesportsman6]

I love Tommy. How epic was that.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Evans sis 1'03 behind Schleck.

 

[Ramira]

OK, I've just lost all respect for Schleck.

Lol? Because he didn't pull Evans back to his brother? Sure that would've been smart. He did exactly what he had to.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Evans just won the Tour.

There is another stage my friend.

 

[therhodeo]

No hate for Tommy not pulling. He was hanging on for dear life.

 

[rainman]

****ing amazing stage. Long live the Tour.

+ 1 one of the classic tour stages, brilliant.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Chapeau Tommy!
Crappo, the rest. (only kidding)

 

[Benneth]

TV... wow.

 

[Grayguard]

Lots of respect to Andy for his ride today! Too bad to see Conti drop from the group, but I hope he can still add to the excitement in this race.

 

[patrick767]

Are you on crack? TV is riding way above his usual level just holding Cadels wheel. WHat on Earth makes you think he has extra energy to do pulls?

Yep. On the other hand, if Voeckler pulls out a Tour win, I'll have a hard time respecting it when all he is capable of doing is sucking wheels up the mountains.

 

[Escarabajo]

Cadel!

WOW.

He, maybe, saved his Tour!

 

[khodder]

Contador...GOOOOONNNNEEEEEE

Taarame, Danielson, Iglinsky and Hejesdal passed him.

 

[sulgpallur]

taaramäe overtook contador never would have seen that today

 

[ericthesportsman6]

Tommy Danielson beats Contador

 

[Maxiton]

Evans just won the Tour.

I hoipe you're right. He just won it with me. Chapeau Evans! And hats off to Andy.

 

[kurtinsc]

Evans sis 1'03 behind Schleck.

That's within reach. I didn't think Evans had that kind of climb in the wind like this in him.

 

[jsem94]

Chapeau to AS for this attack. Wow.

And Evans, he almost cracked everyone by bulldozing this climb - limiting his losses as much as possible.

Tomorrow will be a fun stage.

 

[TRDean]

Was Cunego up there?

 

[Alpe d'Huez]

I love the guy, but Voecker did nothing to deserve to hold onto that Jersey.

Andy and Cadel are the two heroes of the day.

Contador completely cracked.

 

[lilyprotector]

hopefully both schlecks will have good legs on the same day tomorrow.

 

[kjetilraknerud]

Well, that was quite epic. Andy and Cadel - GREAT ride! The rest was obviously close to cracking the entire climb, with thenpossible exception of Basso?

 

[woodie]

Awesome ride by andy and even more awesome by Cadel!
