Looks like Popo is gone.

 

[Wergeland]

Not many Astana riders at the front now. Both Saxo and Garmin have more riders there. Unusual situation for Armstrong.

At this point it is quality over quantity.

 

[Parrot23]

Sorenson's doing his stuff again, as at Verbier, for Saxo.

Paul S. just said 185 bpm.

 

[frizzlefry]

Why does Saxo waste themselves so soon?

 

[Buffalo Soldier]

Great to see a belgian climbing so well

 

[Publicus]

Armstrong is gone! But Kloden is right there.

 

[Wergeland]

They dropped Armstrong?

 

[El Imbatido]

[Rechtschreibfehler]

They dropped Armstrong?

And Klöden was aloud to follow.

Asolutly right that way.

 

[El Imbatido]

They dropped Armstrong?

and evans and sastre

So soon? There's only a few kms to the top.

 

[Parrot23]

So two Saxos vs. two Astans. Finally shedding some people.

Klodi will be covering Wiggins: that's big 2nd story/fight here.

 

[klodifan]

and evans and sastre

Wow, wiggins is still there

 

[Anonymous]

Wiggins riding well, Kloden getting to ride for himself. Good choice by Astana.

 

[Wergeland]

They dropped Wiggins too? Vandevelde is there?

 

[Buffalo Soldier]

The days of the old guys are over. No armstrong, no evans, no menchov, no sastre.
Kloden is there, but i don't think he will be there for long

 

[Anonymous]

No, wiggins is there. VDV is with Lance and Evans.

 

[Mellow Velo]

That's a bit more like it! Nibali will definitely attack on the downhill.
Where's the old guy gone?

 

[luckyboy]

C'mon, there's no way you can mix up Wiggins and VDV

 

[Parrot23]

Is Nibali a good descender?

 

[klodifan]

fPaul? feet up, pipe in his mouth?
