    i think someone like Kohl or Valverde will give it a dig early on.... anyone? or will Kohl be worried about going too early?

    Predictions:

    Emma says Kohl will attack
    Sean says Menchov will win
    Carlton agrees with Sean
    David says Kohl

    Hmmm. I'll go for Frank Schleck

    literally? That's a bit extreme for added excitment, if messy.......

    Surely Shleck has to give it a do or die in the next couple of kilometres. If he doesn't get at least 1:30 or so out of Evans today, then there's no point. Might as well give it a go and risk blowing up rather than not try and get blown away in the TT.

    Going back to the Riis/Sastre sandbagging campaign, how about Sastre going all out for the race win with one big attack right now? He's been so quiet.

    Either that or he's sacrificing himself for Frank

    If Andy Shcleck can bridge up to Sastre... eek.

    COME ON, TRY YOU BUGGERS. Anyone who doesn't puke or need to be helicoptered to hospital has got their priorities wrong.

    Menchov is edging back, as they start to play cat and mouse.
    Schleck has starts to dig....

    Valverde working for CSC? Seems to be a bit of chat between Alejandro and the Schlecks (great name for a band, that).

    Superb sandbagging from Carlos! Cadel thinks Schleck is the threat, but maybe Carlos has been saving himself for days?

    Maddening, isn't it? I don't think I've had more than 20 seconds feed at a time for the last two or more hours. :(

    Any bets on a group of 7 or 8 riders getting to the finish line together? Small groups seem to be the order of the day for this climb. Rarely do they come in one by one here.

    Sastre virtual yellow jersey now. But he'll need more if he wants to hold off Evans in the final TT
