Didn't O'Grady barely make it into the squad for the Tour because he wasn't really in form and was included mostly because of his veteran status?

Didn't he break a collarbone or something? I thought he was just coming back from that.

So who got up at... what? Like 4:30 am on the west coast of the US? What time is it in Australia? like midnight?

I was up at 415. Anyone have any live feeds? Got one.

Laurent Fignon is back, commentating on France 2. He looks reasonably well, but his voice is terrible. A vocal chord problem, rather than cancer, it seems.

Apparently Cummings was told to get in the early break so Sky don't have to do any chasing. Wonder if they'll try to use him for Wiggins to jump across to later on too.

I expect a Flecha, EBH, Thomas train to pull him everywhere. Or Flecha to be let off the leash.

Could see a Garmin win today.

Haven't read the thread, so probably duplicating, but would have to think Sky seriously go for it today, unless they're stupid enough to think Wiggins can get a top 3 anywhere else in this year's tour.

No other team has the same combo of a team leader adept at cobbles, and serious team-mate firepower to push it on the cobbles (Boassen, Thomas, Barry, Flecha if he doesn't free-lance).

They're racing today. Peloton is strung out.

I would think the GC riders want that. Faster they go, the faster they get the stage over with.

Hushovd should take this one.
Hope the Rabos can stay upright.

I'm naive to hope that all of the GC guys stay upright. I don't want this stage to decide someone's Tour, but I have a feeling it will.

About 50k to the cobbles start. At this rate they'll be there in just over an hour.

Thanks! Note to self, get the next 3 hours work done in the next hour.... and then chill for the ending and then 2 hours of banter on the forum afterwards...

Did Contador have any injuries besides abrasions?

Versus Just showed an injury list and showed schleck and armstrong as "abrasions" and contador has "hip and elbow"

Is there something I don't know, or is Versus just trying to give the fanboys something to cheer about?

It certainly looked like AC had abrasions on his hip and elbow, similar to Armstrong and others.

Versus didn't want to cause a panic by suggesting that Armstrong's injuries were worse.
