I heard it's not raining at the finish? So maybe they'll keep it together?

keep it simple , keep it real .

But i dont really know that much about bikes. I just sit on em and do as i am told. peddle. hard and fast.
--Chrissie Wellington

I think the best way to get faster is to enjoy it, the more you do the better you get, so go out and enjoy swim, biking and running, and don't feel to constrained and just do lots.

In an attempt to not repeat what happened yesterday, Andy may ride off the road.

I think it will be a repeat with Evans winning.

Or Thor, because.

I predict FrAndy lose more time, Contador/Evans/Sanchez drop TV, and Cadel ends up in yellow.

definitely the s5 right now.

the next two days do not bode well for it though. the team version is too heavy for the alps. If thor had the VWD though, definitely.

yes we can
also Hoogerland, who made some hard efforts to get in a break yesterday, and is now bridging up!

Oh, and Hoogerland is at it again as well. Serious case of HTFU; his stitches on the inside of his knee are apparently infected...

I think we should also give HUGE props to Ryder for that stage win. If you watched from the beginning of the coverage you will have seen him driving hard at the front of a breakaway attempt for like 30 minutes, and they got caught. And he went again, this time with thor. And then he dropped everyone on the climb. A massive show of force. While Thor was more a show of cleverness. He only made 1 move, the right one, and conserved energy.

OK, so they're going up a Cat1 and there's four (4) Europcar riders on the front of the peloton. And a bunch of Liquigas guys. It ain't happening today. Haven't seen Frandy all day.

dude, 100% chance a GC contender attacks at the final cat2

and 90% chance that GC contender is not Frandy.

I'm just hoping for some old-fashioned crazy guys attacking early and often. I guess the current crop of CG studs are just not like that (TV excluded).

Daddy Schleck just admitted in an interview that he thinks Andy will probably lose more time on the last descent.

With support like that he'll never get over the hump.

Neither Frank or Andy has thrown down a significant attack, yet. The 30 sec or 2 sec "attacks" did little damage on the other GC guys.

Either, both of them are too concerned about the other to really put a hurting on the other GC guys, or they don't have the legs to separate from the other GC guys.

Suffer Well.

I still want to know how the ST analysts can distinguish between an all out attack that doesn't work because the others are able to cover it

and a half assed attack.

how do you know? forildo?

I think if Andy and/or Frank are escared of losing time on the final descent, then they must attack.
