Win or lose, there's absolutely no question that Contador is a far superior bike racer to Andy.

Andy just went "BOO" to AC right there at the end. WOW, tv cameras totally lost that group.

Hmm, the finish today might slightly contradict that.

AC's descent and break with Sammy was impressive, but I'm equally impressed by AS covering that gap (who knows whether it was by himself or not, of course)

AC attacks on the downhill. I think he has found FrAndy's weakness.


after the Frandy's comments in the press last night, how could you NOT tell the mechanics to put the 25c grippy as shit tires on and be read to bomb that descent? lol

Gain: Zero.

But at least he tried. Man, this is going down to the wire. And I can't watch the damn TT Saturday.

Huge finish for the Schleck's there. Bravo to get back on with AC at the very end.

But, in the end, what he did accomplished nothing....Tomorrow is the big day and maybe he burned too much up today. Of course I say that and I know he's the best pure rider in the race, beef or no beef.

With help. Spackler's right, AC is finally starting to put his stamp on this race. I expect big things in the next 2 days.

nah, everyone else had to burn the same matches.
maybe more since he made that time by just falling, and they had to claw it back on the flats.

How so? Contador climbs as well or better than Andy, as evident by dropping him the past two days. He goes downhill FAR better, as evident by dropping him the past two days (Andy can thank the chasers for getting him to the line; he was in a group). Andy can't TT, Contador is hands-down the best GC TTer.

That's why one of them has 6 GT victories and a slew of other stage races like P-N.

In the mental battle, this was a huge sigh of relief for the Schleck's. In the same breath, AC is really coming onto form, and at this point is making the race right now, the past few stages.

Tomorrow, I'm thinking is goign to be brutal!

I'm really starting to like Sammy Sanchez. Seems to be a great allround cyclist, aggressive without being stupid. Just wish he wasn't playing domestique for a guy who isn't even on his team.

Andy and Frank are so escared that they're skipping their usual post-stage mani-pedis and are going right to the his and his massages. At midnight they will wake up in a cold sweat and and won't get more than 4 hours of sleep. All because Contador slapped them around today. He gained no time advantage, but gained a psychological one.

It looked like the Schlecks were leading the chase group to me for a LONG time, just saying. Everyone else was trying to hang on

Well, I agree that the Schleck sisters are going to be the new Poulidor's of the 21st century.

Of course if Cadelle ever attacks I might fall over out of my chair...

I think it's even stevens in terms of gaining any mental edge from today. Both can take alot away from today. Schleck's got gapped and still made the finish (especially with how many guys crashed off on that downhill), AC's form is certainly coming onto form. Game on for both.
