When was the last time we saw the green jersey in the lead on the tour's toughest stage? I almost can't believe it. Now if he could loose some weight, Wiggins style. (I know I'm becoming a Thor fanboy.)

Not too bright, in my book...especially when he's already got it sewn up.
Weather at the finish is currently improving...
...and so to the Saises.

Wergeland said:Why are Astana using Kloden to pull Contador back to the peleton? his 4th on the GC! Unheard of. Contador has more problems with his bike.
Mellow Velo said:Ha! Astana take forever to change Contador's wheel, so up comes the Caisse car to tow him back!!!

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.
