Yesterday's commentary:
Vanendert and Basso rode a good pace that killed off Evans. "When Cadel rode next to me on the Aspin, I thought he looked like he could be dropped [...] Basso rode at a real high pace; it almost dropped me and VDB2. On the peyersourde I told Basso to ride just a notch slower. Then we could have shared the pacemaking and we could have distanced Evans even further"
"Froome struggled at one moment also. Everyone was on the limit, and then small things make a difference."
VDB2 announced that he will fire up the old engine today....

I don't get this strategy either?
Hold the break at a reasonable distance that Nibali can get back in it off the descent of the Bales??
Still a loooong way til then...

Liquigas should save this for the Bales. Teams trying to challenge Sky this year have either been too weak, have got their tatics wrong or both.

Phil and Paul keep saying that Nibali wants to win the stage. I think they're actually trying to keep it together for Sagan to get the points at the intermediate sprint. Call me crazy, but when you've got a winning horse, you put your money on it.

Points are points, prize money is prize money. If I were in the green jersey, I'd want to get every sprint I could too.
I'm not saying that it IS their tactic, but it isn't outside the realm of possibility. It doesn't really matter though, Nibali won't attack outside of 5km to go, because the Sky riders are enjoying not setting the pace at the moment and will be more than able to reel any attacks back in with no trouble.
Oh wait. Sky back on the front.

Yeah. I'm kinda scared right now... the message that he's crashed, then nothing.

i think the tour was over yesterday.. no one is going to move Wiggo nor team Sky from the front
Radioshack claims that they will protect Zubeldia, BMC will protect TJs white jersey. But I didn't see any teammates when Zubeldia fell off, or now when TJ was at the back with some kind of issue. Being protected looks good on paper.
Does carlton kirby have a job on this because he's multi-lingual and translates interviews? I can think of no other reason.He should do pieces for countryfile
