Nice win for Cuddles!!!! AC went just a bit too early, but impressed by his ride nonetheless.

"Well nice ride. This ought to shut up all of his critics for a bit. Nice, nice ride!"

He learned when Kirchen blew him away 2 years ago. Smart.

Evans experience on the Mur du Huy won it over Contaodr who misjudged it.

Yep. Well done Cuddles. Well done.

EDIT: No question AC could win this race next year if so chooses. First time he's rode at the front for the win, so he'll know now what Evans learned in 2008.

Just a sensational ride, looked like he was gone early on the climb but just timed it better, nobody can whinge about that win

Absolutely right, he let Contador hit out ahead and tire himself out early, and saved his kick for the last possible pitch.

well after the earlier ricco/vino/basso 1-2-3 and the threat of AC or Valverde winning, this was a good result for cycling.

Well done by Evans, he learned well from last year. Good first try by Contador, most riders mistime their effort the first time.
