    Well, they've isolated Bert - brilliant effort.

    It's hard to tell, but Contador now looks like that last effort has hit his legs hard.

    Wiggins will struggle to get on the podium now with Ventoux still to go.

    I can't believe I'm saying that and feeling disappointed at the prospect!! :o

    Bertie's now my fav rider.

    I reckon he will make sure it's not an Astana 1-2-3

    2'15" for Wiggo. Contador looks rough.

    Andy needs to make a move now, Contador looks like he's in trouble but getting it back slowly.

    WOW. They showed the workload:

    Andy: 64%
    Frank: 36%
    Contador: 0%

    Contador the best sprinter out of the 3??

    This isn't a super hard technical descent. The Schlecks need to take some risks here.
  • donrhummy

    There IS a chance here. The Schlecks already have Contador working hard to catch them up a few times.
