Doesn't look like all that much actually, looks like the chasers are burning just as many matches, Voeckler looks done
Andy looks pretty relaxed in that breakaway group. I hope he actually maintains the gap because that kind of move was BALLSY as I'll get out and exactly what my main criticism of his tour riding had been.
Anyone else see the super sketch near crash by Andy on the descent? That was interesting to say the least.

All in? They have Frank in the group as a back up. BAMF (but stupid) would have been have both Frank and Andy attack!

AS now 3:20 up over the yellow jersey group - still pulling ahead very slightly. This is going to be interesting!

Bert is hiding in the back of the group. It's up to him right now. Sammy's team is done.

either Andy is simply way too good, or the other teams have made a monumental stuff up here.
To allow him to get over 3 minutes is just stupid if you have the firepower.
The race finishes today if Andy holds the lead by over a minute at the top.

Cadel Evans would be in yellow if Andy only wins by 1 min.

Had to walk away for a little while- what happened to the guy from Astana that was out front? Iglinsky? Did AS and Co. sweep him up, or is he still hanging out front?

It looked like they were all staring at each other hoping someone else would chase. On the descent, Contador was letting Voeckler and Europcar do the work while he sat in the back! As if Voeckler had more to lose than Contador. I know he's in yellow, but his chances of winning the whole shebang weren't outstanding either way.

no, if Andy holds the lead of the race by over a minute. Which is looking likely. Not if he just wins the stage by a minute.
It's almost a 4 minute lead now. Just dumn riding by the chasers OR Andy is way out of their league.
Either way - he's capitalised on his fitness or their stupidity and deserves to be where he is.

He had a big mouth before the race "AC is the only guy who could ride away from him." I wish I could have seen him test that statement.

Right now he's roughly 2:30 "virtual" GC lead on Evans (not counting Voeckler anymore). People are assuming Andy needs 1:30 advantage over Evans going into the TT (of course there is tomorrow as well).
