Spilak has been impressive. Contador ride was solid after missing some racing and the climb not his favourite type. TT will decide this race anyway, the way it's looking.
Tomorrow's finish is 7.5% for 7km, thats more of a comfort zone for AC. Question is if he has the bite of old?
**** that ****. Contador from the old days should win this, it's that simple.
We all know it.
I still give him credit but it's not looking good atm. This field is not so strong aswell.

Very weak display by Saxo-Tinkoff today, but in tune with what we have seen so far this year. Their effort to start up a train was pathetic, tempo set by roche and Sorensen so weak, that other riders quickly by-passed them. Kreuziger was not with Contador in the fininishng moments of the stage.
Compare that with what Sky are doing. Maybe Riis has his mind affected by all the affairs and can't think and act clear no more.

u guys are really deluded about Contador. Thats as good as he is these days.Dont expect any miracles
not to justify his poor performance today - but I kind of sense that Contador is "seriously studying" the Sky "modus Operandi" rather than attack, well knowing he'll be brought back by them anyways....

Mentally it must be not easy for Contador. He loves to attack but it's pointless right now unless he's super it's a waste of energy.
Why would we expect Roche, Kreuziger and Sorensen to do well on that climb ? Even Sky were not on the front much until the finish.
fantastic ride by the colombians_O_ bad asz sprint right there
well for sure it didn't seem that alberto improved from tirreno. and to not call this his territory it's bullshiit. remember that mende used to be his climb,3 km@10%. he might catch though a good day and win the whole race with a move
for me the big favourite is now richie for overall
very good stage, they did ride on calizas too after all

Agree, Porte is still the man to beat here.
Great final few kms today, but more action to come.

The team is getting better, but they are definitely still not good enough. They'll need to be much better than they were today for the Tour.

Actually I don't think people are naive they just realise that this isn't the right section to talk about it (unlike you as always)
Tomorrow will be raining all the day and the next day it's possible to have some snow at 500m
Amazing the crowd in the final ramp

This very steep finish is not suited to Van Garderen and Talansky anyway so it was not realistic to expect them near the front anyway.
