Garmin driving chase with Fdj. location of Greipel unknown. Maybe that is why they are driving it. Cos that chase is infront of field

Valverde lost 20sec yesterday, so cadel has buffer

Good place for Valverde to win stage and help Cadel to win his home tour and maybe calm Cadel down from last years hard feelings?

Greipal is in 1st chase which is 37 sec behind Gruppo Evans

The coke screws you up ad in the middle of a cycling program... tactful..

 

[El Imbatido]

WTF!!!!! SBS just went to ads. That is so much like the tour last year. ON the stage to verbier when saxo had just taken over from Astana to drive the pace, they cut to ads. It felt like the longest ad break in the histroy of ad breaks. When they came back Contador had already attacked and was up the road by himself!!! I was so cut
