    BTW, in case anyone forgets, Lance is an amazing descender.

    What did Contador say to Andy then ??

    I think Contador just gave the stage to the Schlecks!

    Bertie giving Andy stage; probably because he appreciates he wasn't the strongest clinber.

    Contador the best sprinter out of the 3??
    Frank would be the fastest, but I have a hunch they just agreed on an Andy victory.

    I have a feeling Lance wants to win this stage, but not sure he'll get back on.

    Nibali catches Lance. Contador knows he's got the TT coming up, to have a nice ride there - no stress for him.

    yeah can't see Bertie challenging the sprint. Nibali is back on Lance, where's Wiggo?

    No chance.

    Do you think Bertie is using the Schlecks to help him just make sure he has more time in LA? DO you think Bertie fully trusts LA?

    The Schlecks are not going to get rid of Contador, but they are making him work on every corner.

    Looks like Bjarne has got an immediate replacement for Jens - Contador :wink:

    Hope Andy gets the victory today, and moves up on the podium - Ventoux still to come, to have another crack.

    Nibali is a quality rider be interesting if rumours of him to team sky come true....blood passport depending.

    So does anyone have any idea what the standings might be for brad now and whether he can still podium given TT and ventoux?

    Seems the Schlecks reputation on descents is not justified - both doing a great job.

    Agreed - competent.
