    WTF are the yellow jersey pack doing? They've essentially handed the tour to Andy Schleck without so much as a whimper.

    It's a 'race', guys.

    Looks like Andy has today so sewn up that he'll win the whole thing.

    Barring any problems with his chain, of course.

    I'm thinking the same thing. They'll put time into Andy on the TT but I doubt enough time to beat him. I also think they reckon he'll crack before the summat, he won't.
    Food Chain number = 4

    A true scalp is not only overtaking someone but leaving them stopped at a set of lights. As you, who have clearly beaten the lights, pummels nothing but the open air ahead. ~ 'DondaddyD'. Player of the Unspoken Game

    I mean I'll be someone other than Contador wins this, though I wish he put up more of a fight trying to claw back his time. But I just like the way Andy has gone about winning it, what with all the moaning and all.

    4 minute lead over the peloton. I can't remember a challenger pulling out a lead like that for a very, very long time.

    DDD, check your PM in a bit.

    Nope climbing a bit of the downhill off the Galibier, they do part of the route tomorrow, only 60% mind. Just missing 70km and the Glandon.

    Where should we be looking out for the KW jersey on the road?

    You know I don't know what these guys were thinking when they let Andy go and let him stay there with no attack or anything.

    Do you think Andy will be doing it SCR stylee? Sitting at the top with a beer asking Cadel and the rest what took them so long?

    Think the white paint was the stuff used for road markings so should be fairly durable.
