This is why there should be time bonifications.

Wiggins putting the hurt on and Cadel. Armstrong hanging, but not too strongly.

Phil and Paul say "Lance is playing the ultimate teammate"

Is he, or is it that he just can't counter?

The commentary I'm reading said he tried to chase?

No one is strong enough to counter AC.

Where is LIQ?

I think he just followed Cadel's wheel when Contador went.

Edit: It was Schleck that chased.

 

[Cobblestones]

All in all, relatively uneventful stage.

 

[BroDeal]

Someone must have shoved a jalapeno up Wiggins' backside.

Martin in the front group...dang.

 

[TRDean]

Pretty stong climbing by Tony Martin and Wiggins...makes me curious.

 

[Bala Verde]

Agree. In the end it doesn't matter if you recapture the escapees. Probably an invention te let the french riders take stages...

Menchov wasn't that bad...

Nocentini in yellow 6s

 

[BroDeal]

Good sign for AC that he can gain time on a moderate climb.

Except for the fact that the yellow jersey changed hands, a break stayed away and Contador claimed his leadership role.

He is on record that if AC jumped, he was going to stay behind marking the others.

This **** will really come down to Ventoux

WE can expect Armstrong to continue making tweets disputing AC's leadership.

Surprisingly boring day. Only racing in the last 5km worth watching. Really disappointing that no one would attack. And with tomorrow and the next day with the final climb with a long lead out or descent to the finish, we may not see GC changes from the leaders for a week.

Well, Armstrong didn't attack the pack himself. Gotta say that Contador didn't look overpoweringly strong.

Good for Wiggins.

Good not Lance in yellow.

 

[Captain Kirk]

my imagination, or was everyone sucking Cadels wheel ....he gave the flick and no one would help even woth 3 minutes down

 

[mambo#5]

what happened to Klodi?

 

[Bala Verde]

Kreuziger lost time... big time 50s

Just like LL Sanchez 30s

Gotta agree...a disappointment.

Really stupid course where everything comes down to that one stage. A slightly bad day could sink anyone , and there is no where to make up for it.

paybacks a *****.

Yea, he is gonna say that he was just being a good teammate and not attacking after Contador. He still thinks he can cut it if he with the main contenders, and in reality, he still may be able to do it.
