Fruit snacks are for winners

No point attacking on the Telegraphe unless you are 30 minutes down in the GC....the race only starts once we get to Bourg d'Oisans :-)

I wonder if both the green and yellow jerseys change hands after today's stage.

I'd love to see Voeckler hang on and then fight it out with Schleck and Evans in the TT. After yesterday, I don't know how much of a fight is in Voeckler's legs! Yesterday was 17000 ft of climbing and today should be another 9000 more! That's an insane schedule.

i do love bourg d'oisans. what a great little town.

Agreed.....one more reason to do the Alpe D'Huez tri. The smart guys took 10 days of vacation and are in that town for yesterday and today's stage of the TdF and are in town next week for the Tri. What am I doing sitting at home? This could have been the ultimate sports fan/participant trip!!!

Craig Hummer's take on the Riis interview sounded like there was a death in the Saxo family.

I keep wanting to see Bob Roll in a white suit, hold his pinkie to his mouth, and say the tour winner will get 'one meeeeeellllion dollars'.

This is easily one of my favorite days of the year - always cancel my morning so I can Alp with the boys. Phil also just said the elimination time - because the stage is so short - could be as little as 21 minutes. Hm. All geared up with a 3-hour supply of diet pepsi. Lessee:

1. Frank - he was pulled up the hills yesterday, might have better legs
2. Cadel - perpetually the bridesmaid. But it's today or never. He will grimace his way up the switchbacks.
3. Andy - a lil hung over from yesterday, but still legs to get up the hill.

Darkhorse: Basso - I think his chances improve because if he goes in the last 10K, they won't mark him - he's too far down in the GC.

BMC putting someone out front early.

will repeat my prediction from yesterday:

frank to attack, cadel forced to follow

good move by BMC here

hoogerland AGAIN! - I bet the reason he was so emotional after that crash is he knew he was in the best shape of his life.

$4 says cadel loses time to one or both of the ssscchhhlick bro's.

I'd love him to actually get 30 seconds on both. But can't see it happening. They're just too damn skeletor like to lose time to cadel on the climbs.

its going to be tough for cadel. hopefully (for him) frank isn't in great shape right now.

Now that there are 14 guys away and established, Burghardt and the OPL guy have stopped working. Everyone else is taking their turn.

Looks like BMC saw what Montfort did for Andy yesterday and following that script.

The tour feed just gave a list of all the $$ Andy won / could win and mentioned it could be a good payout for Andy. Isn't that money split up among the team?

AC and AS light it up early! I expected Bert to go on the Galibier, but not quite that early.

FS there as well, and two other Saxos.

Suffer Well.

He reminds me of Paula Radcliffe when he is strung out and his head gets to bobbing.

Voeckler is Legend.
