Ferminal said:Fantastic racing by all, well, except Saxo. Nice of Sky to realise the threat and respond with a strong tempo. Will be interesting to see if they can match 2005 times now.

The Hitch said:Dont think the tactic from Movistar was that good afterall. Sky just went the same pace they would have gone had he never attacked, and now hell have a 35 sec or so advantage going into the climb but be far more tired than he needed to be.

I have the feeling you'd have to eat your words by the end of the stage.The Hitch said:Dont think the tactic from Movistar was that good afterall.

I'm thinking the whole Tour. Having a guy with you at least until the foot of the last mountain is valuable even for Cadel. It's not like he'll win anyway but I'd like to see him have a good race.darwin553 said:Race as in the whole tour? Or race as in this stage? He will be fine for this stage but tomorrow could be a very different proposition
