I was just embarrassed for him watching that interview. Pretty inspiring stuff when your GC hopeful admits that he's going to do everything he can to just hold on and not lose too much time. Confident! :rolleyes:

Maybe that is better than pulling an AS and heralding yourself as greatest climber in the history of the universe?

Versus just showed an interview with Levi, who has declared he will wheelsuck Menchov on the final climb.

When the main objective of RS is for Bottle to hang on for dear life to the wheel of a guy who is happy with top ten, then you know it is time to retire for half of the team.

And that was the team which was declared as a best climbers' team.

Menchov, happy with top ten?

Now I don't like Levi, but if the podium is his goal, following Menchov is a good (if unimpressive) tactic. He still has the ITT, and it's not like he could follow AS and AC anyway.

Nice leadout for Thor there, by former team mates in C.A, Pauriol and Charteau.

That's what you get for beeing a nice guy, and having good friends in the peloton. Jens Voigt, Thor's best man, did the same for him in the intermediate sprint on stage 9.

Hesj and Vino give it a go. Kiriyenka and Kloden are there too.

Maybe they'll be able to keep the lead alive if they kill themselves now, but they'll haemmorage time badly as soon as they hit the 10%+ slopes and the favorites start firing.

That split in the breakaway was not good for Saxo, the main 3 guys are in the front, and now since they shed one of the 2 Caisse riders, Radioshack will not aid in the chase for the team classification since its 1 on 1

Lance just did a Versus interview where he admitted they are trying to win the Team Classification, and are in a heated fight with Caisse for this hugely important prize.

I need to get some work done but it's an exciting stage so far. Cool to see the battle for the green jersey, the battle for team GC, plus Hesjedal giving it a go...

If I owned stock in Radio Shack, which I don't, I would definately sell.

Versus coverage is pathetic. They didn't even seem to notice the head butts yesterday while it was happening.
