Lance isn't helping Basso coz Levi is up ahead - the Rai said

OK that makes sense I suppose.

Cuddles is bombing down the mountain but he is a day late and a buck short.

Cuddles is back!

Go evens!

Paul just said: 'Armstrong has, for once in his life, a comfortable armchair ride.'

:facepalm:

 

[Jukebox]

Sanchez looking better.

Evans is always a fighter, you have to respect that.

 

[Ryaguas]

Where is the Levi/Rabo/Rodriguez group?

A little bit ahead of Uniballer's group..

Cuddles going SUICIDAL in the descent!!!!!!!!!

 

[Thee_chisa]

hoping weiggins can get on the larry group and ride in strong

 

[hoolaparara]

Menchov is so unreadable they can't even get a gap.. the graphic shows up but with no time!?

 

[Cerberus]

Definitely cramps, what a shame! This will make it a tough final 7 km...

Yeah, I think we can say the first two spots on the podium is settle now, only the order is really in question. If Sanchez had caught up and been a bit stronger in the Pyrenees then perhaps, but as it is I don't see him beating Andy or Contador.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

LLS wheel sucking

 

[Wergeland]

Cunego is riding very cynical and has pulled very little. Sanchez is clearly annoyed and has stopped pulling aswell.

 

[Moondance]

Sanchez (and Cunego) are really screwing the two frogs...

 

[Big GMaC]

Phil: 'so for once a breakaway will succeed'

What about both of Chavanel's wins?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Menchov is so unreadable they can't even get a gap.. the graphic shows up but with no time!?

Because they placed the motor with the Armstrong group.

They have no motor at the group Menchov.

ASO fail.

 

[Zoncolan]

AC group @ 1.14
Samu@ 1.47
Menchov group @ ??
Krueziger @ ??
Basso group @ 3.55


I'll be ****ed if Sanchez wins this. He's done no work at all.

He's done all the work uphill. Cunego never took a pull.

 

[BroDeal]

A little bit ahead of Uniballer's group..

Cuddles going SUICIDAL in the descent!!!!!!!!!

I think he bonked and has now recovered. He looks a lot more upbeat.

 

[khodder]

Cuenego wants the win, LLS wants the win, those two have the sprint over Charteau and Casar...

 

[Bala Verde]

Interesting that menchov, levi, Rodriguez and Gesink haven't yet caught Sanchez.

 

[Cobblestones]

Sanchez was shaking his legs all the way down the descent. You could see the cramps coming.

Btw. any estimate who does more work in the Bertie/Schlecklet group?

 

[Tyke1968]

That train just attacked...

 

[bicing]

LLS was definitely riding at the front up the Madeleine. He knows he has a shot at the stage so now he's copying what Cunego's done all stage long.

 

[Big GMaC]

They seem to share it well.

No work by Moreau though

 

[khodder]

The front group could be screwing themselves...Schelck and Bertie pulling time back.

 

[Jamsque]

That train just attacked...

Vino is on that train!

 

[Cerberus]

Sanchez (and Cunego) are really screwing the two frogs...

Why don't they just stop as well? Wait for Andy and Contador, those two will keep pulling for the time and the other rides can then sprint or attack for the win.

 

[luckyboy]

He's done all the work uphill. Cunego never took a pull.

Cunego & Sanchez haven't been at the front since the top though.
