A Schleck @ 9.0, Contador @ 2.54??!

Think it very possible that Evans will have at least one bad day.
Totally agree re Schleks being the value.

Voeckler? You must be kidding, has looked like a man on his last legs over the last two days, I will be surprised if he isn't 1000 this time tomorrow.

Voeckler himself admitted that he wanted it too much today and hence his visit into someone's driveway, he's trying to exceed his limits and knows he's out of his depth. Not slating his spirit at all but in terms of betting I wouldn't consider him in the market.

His own director sportif said this morning that they would be happy with a top 5

'on his last legs'?? dunno about that - been climbing pretty much as well as any of them. took a gamble on the descent which backfired. obviously his director is playing the same game as himself which is trying to downp[ay his chances in a (pretty lame) attempt to be underestimated by his rivals

cant see any value in voeckler but maybe

schlecks yes

i dont know if contador will drop evans but im pretty sure andy and probably frank have the legs up those alpine stages to at least stay with him tbh, 9 on the basis of 1 bad descent is too much

if the 39 second advantage is still there on saturday it'll be a very interesting tt

seems Evans relying on ITT, AC on Alpe d'Huez additionaly
