The big difference being that he won't win this tour. But I guess you will all just have to be happy with the small victories...you know, like riding up to the leader's group on a Cat 1 climb that wasn't hard enough to make a very good selection considering Dave Z was there, but hey, its the little things.

Where's Carlos?

CN says Sastre is with the yellow jersey group, Versus says he is back w/ Evans. Where is Sastre??

Here comes the truly clueless. There is no way that Andy can ride people off his wheel on a climb that moderate. That Armstrong was unable to respond to the initial attack indicates that on a steeper climb he won't come back. That pretty much everyone who was initially dropped was also able to get back to the Schleck group indicates that the Schleck group's pace slowed.

Yeah... pretty surprising really. A lot of people that you would expect to be dropped before Evans reached the summit with the Yellow Jersey group.

Looks like there might be a tad more to Evans comments about politics .. read disunity at Silence Lotto.. read interesting transfer season ahead. Looks like JVB is the new man of flavour for Lotto .. and he is what a surprise belgium. :(

Prediction: cadel will abondon or not start tomorrow..
 
Great win for Mikel Astarloza. What a fantastic way to get your first pro road race win!

Agree with others saying the climb wasn't steep enough to really split the leaders up. Cadel getting dropped not withstanding. Much of what he lost was apparently on the descent. Really what the climb was, was big. Up, and down.

Again P&P not sure about who was where, but talked away anyway. Kept saying Sastre was with Evans, when all along he was with Contador.

Seriously? No one was duped. Lance was dropped. It WAS NOT planned. He clawed himself back up due to the nature of the climb and his tenacity. But his performance today does not bode well for tomorrow, and then what will his fans say?

I don't remember anyone being dragged with him the last two times he's attacked

I didnt say he did, that is what he has to becareful of, if AC attacks, LA has to decide to mark A Schleck or not cause he is his main threat to podium. If he does he will drag people with him.

Yea, Lance would tell you that he cannot hang with Schlecklet either.

Did Andy attack on the steepest part then it levelled out and not then commit fully once he had the gap, seeing it wasn't big enough? I couldn't see.

Wondering why Andy kept looking back, looking back. Not sure.

How was I duped? Lance was dropped. Then Lance closed the gap. Those are the facts. To say it was planned reflects your own irrational delusions and hero workship.
