great job andy if he keeps thisup he deserves to win the tour

 

[Alpe d'Huez]

I can't believe the chasers are expecting Cadel to do all this work. He is getting the gap down a little, but at some point he's going to crack.

Andy seems to have wings.

Am I happy that I chose to work at home this afternoon and now I can watch this!!!!

Andy finally showing his fangs-looks good

 

[khodder]

Just preempting...

OMG, Andy won a stage and took 2+ minutes on the other GC contenders with an attack 60km from the finish.

 

[RdBiker]

Evans is the only one in the peloton with balls. This is what the Schlecks were talking about: no one willing to step it up.

 

[auscyclefan94]

the rest have given up....they know they have lost. It is one against one now.

 

[Zoncolan]

Still think Cuddles is a wheelsucker? Both he and Andy showing some guts here. Kudos.
Gap coming down again. Good job Cadel!

 

[goggalor]

Evans has closed down a minute soon. But he needs help.

 

[Alberto Attack]

Ok, Now im getting nervous, pray to god Alberto can do something.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Schleklet showing his quality today. Very, very impressive riding.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

very impressive by cadel actually.

He is gaining a lot of time. Andy will want 3 minutes I assume. Obviously more.

I suspect it will be less tho. He doesn't look bad andy, but he muust be feeling it.

time is really dropping

 

[ManInFull]

Evans doesnt need to catch him. He needs to bring back a minute, then hes favourite for the time trial.

If Andy does not do the same thing tomorrow....

 

[hoolaparara]

I think Paul Sherwins opinion changed mid sentence there. he was pumping up Andy then the gap dropped about 15 seconds and he decided he was going to break!

 

[mickkk]

Could this be the climb of Evans life?

Andy is starting to grimace.

I think it's a real shame that Evans is the only guy in the group who actually wants to win this race badly enough to chase, especially since all the other guys will ambush him in the final few km.

Gap under 3'30"!

 

[The Hitch]

It's Rolland. One of the 5 best climbers in this tour.

Rolland and Pearaud are 2 of the riders of the Tour.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Contador looks done. He is struggling.

 

[Wergeland]

Evans is giving the yellow jersey back to Voeckler.

 

[ericthesportsman6]

Wow. Cadel really going strong.

 

[kjetilraknerud]

Evans earns a whole lot of respect with this ride. Too bad that Monfort owned all the domestiques in the group big time.
