[python]

i dont see how chase will take back a minute on a down hill.

Only 6 more km of downhill. Then 7km flat/uphill.

 

[Publicus]

Only 6 more km of downhill. Than 7km flat/uphill.

I think that's where caisse tries to make its move

 

[Frosty]

Duque can climb quite well and is a sprinter. Has he survived the climb in the main group?

true but not seven km - 4km up at 2% and 1 flat to the finish. gee but u could be right th egap is at 40 sec now.

Afraid they'll be caught. That last hill doesn't look like much, think it'll make a difference?

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

40 seconds. Might be around 30 seconds once the downhill is over... no chance.

Two questions?

Is Caisse D Epargne doing a ton of work for Contador?

What is the time bonus for first?

 

[Frosty]

Its 45 seconds with 13kms to go. It would be tricky if it were all downhill but it is uphill in the last few kms. As long as the bunch keep chasing then it could be one where they all flash past inside the last kilometre.

 

[Jamsque]

Millar has caught back on.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

if valverde wins and gets a gap of a second or two, then it could make for an interesting finale tomorrow.

 

[Tyke1968]

Tondo is toast.

 

[The Sheep]

Sagan for his third?

must be collusion. no other explanation

 

[python]

cunego is done, tondo is next

 

[Sasquatch]

Whats the bet Sagan takes this

 

[Publicus]

I think AC takes it.

 

[python]

I think AC takes it.

good to see fofo with him again !!

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

that acceleration should kill tondo's chances.

 

[thehog]

Good play not chasing the attacks. Suck up the time bonus.

 

[ak-zaaf]

Titi!

All the French are going now

 

[Publicus]

good to see fofo with him again !!

I wonder if they just forced someone else to close down the gap on purpose. Or if he didn't have the legs. It gets steep (relatively speaking) at 3KM to go.

 

[Tyke1968]

Here come the French!

Tommy V has had a good P-N.

 

[Publicus]

I do believe we have team tactics at play.

 

[luckyboy]

Come on Sylvain!
