    Just accidentally surfed to the wrong English commentary. According to Paul 'their gap is not starting to hover now.'

    My head did not start to not hurt immediately.

    lol - talk about hitting a man *men* while they are down.. It kind of shows that Contador is a really good sportsman. Its not easy to do that based on what they did to him last year..

    I also think there might be some mind games in the whole thing.. Or he has installed secret microphones in them and will record their doping antics..

    Rumours of his demise much exaggerated. He rode hard there. Exciting stuff.

    Wow, you can't say that Cav's not fit, that was a L O N G sprint. No one was even coming back on him in the last 20-30 meters, he was keeping if not extending.

    He's back. Good for him. Hopefully the devils will go away.

    More patience today. Renshaw rickshaw ride for Cav.
    Where was Petacchi?
    Garmin big tactical mistake.
    Farrar should have been Dean.

    Farrar closed the door majorly on Petacchi there. Flippin' gingers :roll:

    Well done indeed - just wondering whether *spoiler* in the title is a moot point, given that within minutes of the win it's splashed all over the main page?!

    Great job by Renshaw - in the absence of the usual HTC domination of the leadout train he did everything right and got the better of Garmin. Good to see Cav getting back to his best as well.

    Actually the delay was because Alberto was trying hard to get a watch that Lance would love.... one that matched his lovely bike and his stupid bracelets :lol:

    I really thought he's thrown in the towel when his tracking stopped working. Glad to see he's still got it. Let's hope there's more to come.

    Happy for Cav. Green might be gone but no reason he can't win a few stages!

    blimey Cav seems not to be the emotionless pillock people make him out to be, genuine tears of joy on the podium there, good to see him back!
    who cares?
