Cadel's gotta be the guy with the worst luck in the history of humanity. Apart from that, his team is not up to par. Let's be honest. Moreover, everytime he gets into some sort of problem, be it mechanical or tactical, he always seems to end up paying for it big time (as opposed to other cyclists immediatelly going on damage-control and minimizing the time loss).

He should've won the Tour a couple times already. Some how, some way he has found a way not to. And I think we're seeing that very same (bad) luck unfoulding before our very eyes.

He is. Buy, that flight back to Australia's gotta be tough on him, mentally. I can just see him sitting there, couple days after he arrives home, analyzing the stages and where he went wrong (personally) and he must be disheartened to find out that he lost all these competitions not to any fault of his own, but due to external crap that he could've avoided 2-3 years ago.

Had he signed with a good team, he'd be right up there. And possibly won 3-4 GTs.

Bottom line is he hasn't.

Sanchez was very good.
Gesink will trail valv. by 27 secs now.

Evans will be about 1.20 down. he limited his losses, but he and SS would have wasted a lot of energy today.

So....tomorrow is the day that guarantees time differences by the nature of the climb

It's also the day Valverde said he'd attack

Let's hope it's a good one
