It is going to be a tough day for Andy -- he loses half a minute or more.
No more sitting around, holding hands, and singing Kumbaya. As Clemenza said in the Godfather, "Leave the gun, take the cannoli."
Saxo is done, Astana hammers it and Alberto dishes out some serious pain.0 -
Pedantic question but....
What's the difference between "none" amd "0"?
I hedged my bets and went for 0-15 8)None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.0 -

None is more emphatic. And "0" wasn't an option - it's 0-15 secondsThe most painful climb in Northern Ireland http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs200.snc1/6776_124247198694_548863694_2335754_8016178_n.jpg0 -
Boring answer: Although he is the better TTer, Contador ought to build a safety cushion ahead of the TT, since a mechanical or a mis-timed corner could be disasterous if they are close on GC. Plus Contador has other riders to worry about as well who are better TTers than Schlek.
On the other hand some of their antics on the climbs have been unusual – all that cat & mouse stuff a few days ago while Menchov etc rode off – so it could still be an interesting final TT.0 -

Even more pedantic but as far as I am concerned 0 is in the 0-15 rangeNone of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.0 -

Well, you didn't make the poll. You might have done it differently, and that's your business - not mineThe most painful climb in Northern Ireland http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs200.snc1/6776_124247198694_548863694_2335754_8016178_n.jpg0 -
Andy's chain to get stuck again. AC takes a minute off him, but will apologise aferwards.Scott Scale 20 (for xc racing)
Gary Fisher HKEK (for commuting)0 -
AS rides like a man possesed and takes1:29 off AC.
Ac wins the Yellow on the TT and ends up with 7 seconds lead.
put a mokey AND a pony on it0 -
Schleck to take about 30 seconds.
Contador to beat him in the TT by 1:30.
Boring and disappointing, but likely, I reckon.0
