The gap seems to be going out a bit now, but it's still very manageable. I would imagine they will bring most of them back on the Col de Vence, it will be interesting to see if anyone like Cunego can stay out ahead over the summit.

thought i'd join you guys at 1:30am.

are you getting the poms poms out for the astana cheerleading squad publicus?

You having that recurring nightmare that Cadel Evans will continue not to live up to expectations? :p

Welcome to the party. I've got my poms poms and coffee. Astana is riding a tactically smart race so far. Liquigas is trying to avoid the inevitable, but with no one in the break, they are either going to have to chase or lose Kreuziger's placing.

Reminds me of that massage parlor I once knew... Wait is this cycling forum?

I think I would like to open a cycling sports bar with live HD feeds in english and some lovely scantily clad soigneurs.

A few more hours of this foreign language immersion and my spanish will approach fluency.

It's kind of funny..... I absolutely hated Astana last year, but find myself liking them more this year and was actually happy when AC went off the front yesterday. Maybe now they are "Cancer-free" they aren't so bad?!
