i think i might have a nibble at that price! Go Geraint!!!!
Evans' mechanical fault might have been a blessing - can stay now with the group and claw back time later in the stage like yesterday.
Yeh but difference is today Andy has Contador doing all the work, he wont be doing it all himself for 20/30km
two strongest climbers out at front is dangerous for cadel imo
gap closing a little, and will close some more before alp d'huez
still liking franks chances atm

Did one of the leaders just shove a newspaper up his jumper ?? Whats that all about ?
fish & chips wrapped in the middle but doesnt want director sportive to find out
Doh - was looking forward to him getting it out, and reading it whilst freewheeling down the mountain
sammie sanchez one hell of a descender!
frank hopefully cruising along

Anyone else think that Frank Schleck should be favourite for the tdf at this stage? Done no work over the last two days, is a huge price.
sanchez joining contador in the lead,means lay andy all day now.
no think cadel evans should be favourite tbh
hes my lesser green out of 3 who can win it, but i would like to see him win it, a warrior

i know having said that i should rectify it, but im just sitting back and enjoying it!
tbf it would be a tragedy if f schleck somehow sheaked the GC!
Have backed him for yellow tonight..but he'll need a decent gap for the TT...unless of course he rides like he did in the Swissy to win it last year...
Agree with SDEH. If Cadel had ridden like Frank he would be chastised for wheel-sucking.
if f schleck cant find the energy to shoot up alp duez he should be banned for non-trying!
No argument from me that Evans has been a warrior whilst Frank has just been carried up but when it gets to Alpe D'Huez, which Frank has won before, there's no prizes for having done lots of work, its all about what you've got left in the legs, and Frank should have loads.
Remember who we want to win and who will win are not the same thing at all.

lol frank really is the king of wheelsucking!!
im watching itv4, dont know what the eurosport commentators are saying but think the itv4 ones are a little simplistic in suggesting frank couldnt go with andy and contador earlier on 
it wasnt the right move as has been proven

Frank is passing out the brown envelopes for all the non helpers of Evans
i dont think anyone thinks they are the same Mary

I would have gone further. A pair of jabbering f*cking monkeys.

its a shame for voeckler that he lost his head and charged after the others. but he is french so what do u expect?
oi thats a bit much V but i have to laugh whenever a rider attacks ligget always says 'and this is a great move'!!
Plenty of people saying Evans should be favourite because they want him to win. He is a danger to Frank but Evans is going to stop on Alpe d'huez IMO
Mary. I don't disagree....and I am an Evans backer on GC...but there's no escaping the fact that some riders get castigated for being passive while others are praised for being clever.
Looks like the same thing a lot of the time.
But sh*t..that's sport I suppose.

evans has climbed as well as any of them tbh, he just hasnt got the acceleration to stay with a kick, or the last 100m kick
but he'll work his way back imo
dont think he'll lose that much time, but it will be on a knife edge tomorrow

evans will stop ? he will clim strongly just lacks the initial kick
Evans had his detractors over the yrs for his defensive style but certainly ridden with some bravado & strength
poor old voeckler will pay for that crazy attempt to catch contador group on this climb
yeah voeckler eally blew his chances there the idiot 
Yesterday was 1 of the great days in Tour De France history this looks even better!
contador is fcked - long way to go yet - big lay
contador is gonna blow big style - long way to go
he's gonna do an attack on the champs elisse!! 
4.2 contador backers for the GC win are quite funny though
All these herberts running alongside the cyclists are doing my head in!
hes going to be caught, but he has the best kick for the end
42 mins to Climb Alp D'Huez.
The field finally be clean

YEP - clean racing = great racing. such a shame it took this long to clean up the sport. pantani wudda gone up in about 25 mins lol
top stuff
best sport ive ever seen
frank the only dissapointment today

those backing contador at single figures for gc during that climb may not be on good terms with themselves

Slowest times in 2 decades.

ive knocked the horses on the head this week to trade on the cycling,so much better & less stressful.
makes u realise how much the sport lost having doped up clowns like armstrong dominating for years on their EPO motorbikes
tommy could still sneak a podium - only 1min or so behind frank
Rojas finished in cav group. 1.14 cav for green jersey must be free money
Well done new bluey. Great call. I couldn't see that happening today.
I did say on the chit-chat Tour thread with about 5km to go up the Galibier yesterday that I thought Rolland was a future grand tour winner though.
They really need to sort out the rules for eliminations and points deductions etc. They seem to be winging it a bit at the moment.
