    Have to give it for Andy. Always the attacker.

    Who weren't riding like donkeys only the day before yesterday. :roll:

    Yeah, Armstrong rode like a donkey as long as you play down his crash.

    Straight question - do you think Schleck and Contador are clean?

    Got to try harder Andy. Contador is cruising.
    So why is he sucking wheel?

    Letting Andy tire maybe. Hopefully he goes.

    It's Schleck who needs to put time into Bert, not vice versa.

    No he's not. You're making the mistake of looking at the yellow jersey gap.

    Contador gets his Caisse bottle, this time. No Lance to nick it!

    that last 5 minutes of coverage of Schleck and Contador riding together was beautiful. I've not seen two would-be winners size each other up like that since Lemond and Hinault. Except these two guys really seem to respect each other, they were trading leading and Schelck was doing as he was told when Contador motioned him fwd. I could tell that Andy was going to accelerate again when they dropped dirty Sanchez but he decided against it.

    I bet Sinyard is happy, his strategy has worked out perfectly. 2011, more Specializeds coming to a sportive near you!

    I'm guessing there's a group without camera between Sammy S and Basso/Armstrong

    Is there a record for most changes of Yellow? Not wearers, but changes of leadership. Perhaps 89 or 87?
