I already predicted that he was sick, getting sicker, and might blow today.

I suspect the attacks may star even earlier.
The Col de Romme is particularly vicious, steep early on, but also with narrow roads. Look at the profile here

He's got a lot of luck with weather today.
Thoughtforfood said:I was thinking the same thing. It sucks, I am going to miss the greater part of the live coverage today. Gotta go do some work. Contador better ride smart today because this is just the kind of thing that Lance wanted to see.

Some Spaniards say they like the heat, but Heras had some great performances in crappy conditions, like his win on the Angilru.
Publicus said:I'm going to go out on another limb and say that Evans abandons before the Col de Romme. He's heart is clearly no longer in this.
Mellow Velo said:The weather is the same for all. Look at Voigt, yesterday. Who would have thunk it?
Armstrong fell on a nothing corner on the Giro's Veruvius stage.
Wiggins doesn't like riding in the rain, though.

BroDeal said:I really think there is something wrong with him other than losing faith that he has a shot at winning.
Maybe Kenny will have company today.
