Thought it might be worth posting the profiles of the next three stages as an alternative to all the doping debate.
STAGE 15

    CSC have the better team and will be hoping to use that over the next few stages to lift their guys up the GC and possibly give someone a chance of overall victory. Possible repeat of the hautacam stage tomorrow? Try to drop people on the ascent and then power away on the flatter bit in between? It is a long way to go though so they might have to do a lot of damage for it to be worth it.

    I'm looking forward to see how Evans responds going into the mountains with only 1 second over Schleck.

    I noticed some people in CSC took it easy today.

    Andy Schleck will attack tomorrow - Cadel admitted he's nervous about him - Valv and Cunego (especially Cunego) are bound to try something tomorrow.

    Its a long way if you are attacking by yourself though - you can attack on the big climb but if you are Valverde or Cunego then you have a long way to go afterwards. I think they may attack later on - i dont think Evans will be worried about them stealing a few seconds but CSC might be.

    like the flat stages really sort out the *men* from the boys... :wink:

    Kirchen and Valverde watch them.

    I am so nervous for Cadel - CSC are so strong and will look to attack Cadel whenever and wherever they can

    Lotto needs to step up - im looking at their climbers and mainly Popovych.... This is what he is paid to do! This is why he was brought to the team in the first place!!

    It's a shame it looks like I might have a 24 hour sickness bug on Wednesday and might not make it into the office... :wink:
