    Contador attacks, matched by Schleck, Menchov moves as well.

    Contador goes! Schleck follows easily!

    Sastre caught.

    Is Schleck going to attack? Surely he has to..

    Eurosport saying Schlek and Contador could be on the same team next year? WTF? :shock:

    Contador attacking again and again, matched. Sanchez attacks, Menchov covers. Top 4 together...

    This is great to watch and all - but it looks like it's going to end up being status quo at the top.

    Contador and Schleck marking each other so much that they're dropping back out of the peloton. WTF?

    Schleck + Contador are taking some big risks by ignoring Menchov.

    Uh oh. Contador sees a motorbike in front of him and thinks it's there for him to draft of. :)

    Ah, so this is why cycling is called chess on wheels. Even Bobby Fischer would be a bit scared about a gamble this big!

    This was not Andy's type of climb so I think Contador made the bigger mistake today. Andy does better on the long climbs.

    Given Menchov's better TT, if he gets any closer to Schleck, there could be trouble.

    They say you write Menchov off at your peril, but I'm gona write him off.

    Denis Menchov will not win the Tour de France 2010

    Contador and Schleck? Yes, you really can have too much of a good thing.
    That was rubbish. A complete waste of a stage and insulting to both Menchov and Sanchez to boot.

    For Andy that was plain nuts.

    As much as winning the tour is about wanting to win the most its also about being prepared to lose the most.

    Who is more prepared to lose in order for the other one to work, Schleck or Contador?
