so sherwens prediction that lancaster could hold yellow for two or three days is looking a bit off..

I want TommyD to attack!

 

[goggalor]

Oh no! Leipheimer just attacked and dropped Horner and Armstrong, with Zabriskie and Rogers on his wheel! Twitter drama to come?!?!

Well, if Horner misses the podium by 1.10 minutes, at least we know where he lost it.

In his defense he was probably fooled by Cervelo... It made no sense for them to pull on the front unless Lancaster felt like a God; so thats the assumption he made.

Instead Cervelo was dicking around.

BTW Lance is pwning Schleck the Younger without even trying. Evidence exhibit #532738945738 of Lance's pending Tour victory

Considering the long stretch from the summit to the finish line, they would need to get a pretty big gap to hold everyone else off

i just want to see the shack go backwards.. maybe then this will have been worth watching..
and if andy schleck says the crowds are bigger than alpe d'huez im going to scream.

hangon.. the governer told people not to stand on the hills.. wtf?

 

[thehog]

My god that front on shot of Armstrong.. he looks huge!

 

[goggalor]

Armstrong has done his job for Levi today... by losing his wheel!

God, Phil and Paul are so full of ****.

Well, this is actually pretty good racing. Who is this Cervelo that keeps attacking, and where is Andy Schleck in all this? Jens! seems to be climbing better than him right now.

 

[jaylew]

Baby Schleck is struggling. Tommy D dropped. I thought he might be stronger than DZ this week but I guess not.

Baby Schleck is struggling.

*attemps to feign surprise*

Deignan...

I don't have a TV here, so does anyone know what the gap is from the lead 3 to the rest?

 

[issoisso]

Rogers, by a huge margin the best sprinter in the front group.

Oh look, Euser is alive again after a couple of years

I don't have a TV here, so does anyone know what the gap is from the lead 3 to the rest?

1 minute, approx.

 

[Jamsque]

I did not know Deignan was here! He looks like he is riding well.

Tommy D is back at the front of the chasing pack with the Hes-Jay. And he goes on the attack!

 

[Moondance]

Horner is doing an admirable job as Levi's hall monitor.... Although if he's this strong I don't see why he didn't go with Levi and try to help break Rogers and/or Zabriskie

Just thought I'd let you know, your hate for Armstrong is making you almost unreadible lately, where are your comments about baby Schlek hmmm? If that was Lance you'd be all over his ***.

 

[Tyke1968]

How many timeouts are each team allowed?

This is actually quite interesting...

about a minute. levi having to do all the work

 

[Eyjafjallajokull]

Armstrong playing it smart for the team, doing nothing to close down the gap to Levi.

to be fair lance does look fat

 

[issoisso]

I'm just waiting for the inevitable "Armstrong is dropped. BRILLIANT TACTICS!" post

 

[The Sheep]

Sagan casuing another crash?

 

[Jamsque]

Phil and Paul are saying the Cervelo rider is Haussler, not Deignan.

Peter Sagan is climbing well, despite falling over just now. If this gets brought back he'll be itching for a shot at the sprint.
