    Why isn't Contador on Vino's wheel. No Astana near him.

    Congrats! What was your tweet? Post it here. :)

    They were talking about where people were watching the tour on eurosport, which segued into things people were doing that would cause them to miss the tour. So I tweeted this:

    According to CN he's in a group chasing on with Armstrong, looks like the pair of them went down too.

    Perfect timing! Did you plan it that way on purpose?

    Vino is in a group behind Contador I think.

    Like they said before, the organisers can design a course, it takes all sorts of elements to make it a race, or to make it dangerous

    Go Jens!!! He's riding his a-- off to get Frank/Andy back (and a huge group behind them)

    Andy now has Jens. The perfect guy to bury himself.

    Anyone know how far back the Schlecks are?

    CN also saying Bertie had to change his bike, putting him a bit further back.

    Sky can't be pulling that hard surely? Or is DB just on a mission to destroy every unwritten rule of the sport and make his boys hate figures?

    Front group cruising.
    Question is, when the Armstrong group gets up, will they charge and leave the schleck group behind?

    Looks more like Popo / Liquigas are pulling that group.

    Edit, OK, I stand corrected. Sky are pulling too.

    Aren't the Sky guys chasing to get back to another group anyway?

    I've no idea who's where on the road now.

    I hope he didn't go down today as well, cos he got someone elses blood in his legs as a result of the last one and we know how that ended up. Hemhemhem

    Looks like the Sky/RS group is 20 sec down on the yellow jersey group, so that is why they are riding, I guess.

    No, you were right. Sky are pulling the 1st group behind Cancellara.
