And can I say Alberto is ABSOLUTELY mind farking these guys?

Well, Lance rode hard when Zulle crashed.

Lance rode hard when Mayo crashed.

The group waited a bit for Lance when he crashed. Then, they said bye. They gave the guy more respect than he did to Mayo and Zulle.

Great ride by Mick Rogers today, nice to see him doing well at the Tour de France again after all those years of struggling.

 

[jaylew]

Is Van den Broeck still there?

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

I don't think Contador wants the jersey yet.

yep, mick has always had bad luck

Cadel looks good then bad, good then bad.

 

[BroDeal]

Conti should grab twenty seconds with a late attack.

I think giving the jersey to Evans was a part of the plan.

BMC defending the leadership?

YES.

OH YES.

im not 100% conviced having it now is a good idea - i think if he has to have it cadel should try and get some extra time over AC

TFF, if you ignore him he will go away.

I think we are seeing that this climb is not going to be decisive. None of the big guns has been unable to follow the pace.

Who do we think gets the stage, then? Contador with a late burst? Cuddles in the sprint? Maybe Liquigas starts firing guys up the road?

Yea, you're right. I will leave it alone.

As for the race, this stage has been better than I expected.

Rogers JUST hanging on.

Andy looks really comfortable.

Cadel looks good then bad, good then bad.

the way he rides makes it look like he is in trouble, you can never tell, but he can suffer with the best of em

 

[auscyclefan94]

gesink struggling.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Wigans in difficulty!

 

[The Hitch]

wiggins falling back

 

[Tyke1968]

Andy is my guess for this stage.

Great stage proud of Wiggins as he suffers at the back...

 

[Biffins]

Wiggins gone!

 

[franciep10]

Wiggins in trouble. Too bad, was hoping he'd survive today.
