yep such short climbing stage, lots sprinter worry about time cut
eurosport is saying EBH can be GT rider even Tour winner

Wiggins emergence as a proper GC rider should give heart to a lot of Time Triallers who have GC aspirations. No reason why EBH can't. He's only 25 still. he has time on his hand.

Kudos to the strong breakaway group. They could make Sky really work for this one.

CN update says the first chase pack is minus Vino and Levi. They fall back?

front group split along the lines of good and not so good descenders, they are not far back though

Yes, I always like to watch Contador... that could be even worse in terms of suspence probably.

I find it odd that people are confident Contador will walk away with the Vuelta so easily. He'll have almost no race days in his legs. Even with his ability, it will be a fantastic win if he pulls it off. The Vuelta could be very exciting this year.

Maybe, but I still enjoyed the Giro 2011 a lot.

Strong break off the front breakaway group... could get very interesting. Rolland, Scarponi, and Valverde are in there. Sky won't be able to ignore it obviously.

Nothing is worse than watching the yellow jersey wheelsukcing his team 100% of the whole damn Tour, never ever attacking.

Stay tuned for La Toussuire...

Goss is not overrated. Everyone agrees he's pretty mediocre. :eek:

How can you say such a groundbreaking tour has been miserable?

Well, to me it has been a very good TdF, but the GC battle, till now at least.
I hope Froome go mad and attack Wiggins! That would be fun and would remove that smile from Bradley for sure! :D
