superconfex said:Hesjedal still up there in GC....good ride
Publicus said:Keep gap manageable. Test the other leaders. You know, just see who's got what. They finished with 3 riders in the main group (Navarro pulled off and stayed with the group).
Mellow Velo said:Kloden just dropped 2'-13" to the contender group.
Delicato said:Haven't seen the whole stage. Did their other climbers, i.e. De la Fuente, Hernandez and Tiralongo also pull?
Publicus said:Well Andy just admitted he had a tough day today. He's getting shelled tomorrow.
Moose McKnuckles said:Bottle said the day was about what he expected. Right. He looked much more worked over than Andy.

Agreed. Klöden wasn't good (deliberately or not), the others were where you would expect them to be (yes even Popo). I'd be more concerned about Liquigas and Saxo, frankly.Delicato said:Wishful thinking. Too early to make any conclusions. After all, there were 4 of them in the leading group.

On the bright side, I didn't expect Sky to do so decently today!
