These roads are crazy. Are any spectators going to be hit, too, today?

 

[Jasper]

Napolitano should be careful, or he finishes outside of the time limit...

They're gonna fight at the finish, and continue on the podium.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Rabo at 51 down at 2nd check.
Not good enough.

 

[TheMight]

If someone crashes will they slow down?

If Lance takes a digger, I simply couldn't see the team not easing up. I wonder what happens if someone clips AC's wheel.

Are Katusha down to seven riders, or did I spot wrong?

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

OKay, pretty obvious that they are....

 

[sometriguy]

Versus typically has a lot of commercials, but this is ridiculous, they have literally had 5 minutes of coverage in the last 45 minutes. Ridiculous!

I think some teams will have to struggle to get 5 riders over the finish at the same time, with the wind and all that.

Absolutely. And now I am treated to Lance trying to walk back his statements yesterday. He did say something I agree with though: this will be decided in the mountains.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Katusha down to 6.
Caisse get home with 7...almost 8.
Menchov is already slipping out of contention.
Is there more trouble ahead?

 

[ak-zaaf]

omg @ bouygues

that was hilarious...

 

[Publicus]

Holy crap! What happened to BBox?

 

[Anonymous]

Boyges in the ditch

(sorry bbox :/)

Clement is being dropped from Rabobank, with about 15k's to go.

 

[luckyboy]

Bouygues

 

[sometriguy]

If a team were to split and only 4 guys came accross the line, would those 4 guys get the time of the 5th rider as well?

I know the team would get the time of the 5th rider, but for GC purposes.

 

[Mellow Velo]

As I speak!
4 BBox crash at once!

 

[Parrot23]

Yes, I see Lance's focus (Versus coverage of interview) is on Saxo keeping the yellow with Cancellara--and Astana taking time on Evans and Sastre.
