    Two riders so closely matched and riding so well. Cracking stuff - and a real shame it will get decided by a TT

    Those flags worry me, they're so close to getting caught on a bike.

    Seriously 1400 metros to go - the crowd should be fenced off.

    I f Andy loses the TDF by say, 36 seconds, think he'll be pissed at Contador?

    Better option would be give tasers to the moto-pilots.

    It's just for the stage now but they'll both want it bad

    On a cool day like this, all you'd smell is burning flesh.

    If he can ignore the 8 minutes he was gifted, then he might....

    Wow, I didn't expect Contador not to contest that.

    Well, unless Contador wins the final TT, a la Lance, he'll go out without a stage victory.

    Andy!!

    Good. True Champion™ denied the win.

    So nice AC gifted the win to Andy.

    Yeah, whatever Phil.

    I could be wrong but I think the controversy from the mechanical is what stopped him.

    Contador: You stop attaching and you'll get the stage.
    Schleck: Alright then. I'll settle for white (again) and come back next year.

    Sound plausible?

    Yeah, much thicker. For one minute, I thought I was on the Ventoux again.

    So, Schleck allowed to take the stage and the difference between them on the mountains is nil.

    A ridiculous finish, if you wanted to attack, you would have to carry half a dozen loonies on your bars.

    Didn't look like Andy likes the friendly "slaps" on the face by contador.

    Nope. I agree with donrhummy - mechanical guilt I reckon.

    BTW - I thought the finish line was basked in sunshine.

    What drugs are Paul and Phil on??
