    Cancellara up to his old tricks. Get on with it.
    Hushovd won't sit and let the jersey go because the Schlecks have got the willies again.

    Makes me want anyone but the Flamin' Schlecks from winning this race..if only they could get their heads from out of each other's ar$es and understand you gain respect from actually winning something, not chucking your teddy every time something you don't like happens.
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    amen to that.

    you need to win a lot of stuff before you get to decide when people can race.

    Cancellara might be one hell of a bike rider, but he's a self-imnportant prick as well! Trying to control the peloton, self proclaimed Spartacus and then have you read his tweets!?

    Imagine what it could be like for the Etape du Tour riders should the roads be in a similar dry/wet state... :?

    I hope Voeckler puts 10 minutes into the field and keeps the Maillot Jeune all the way to Paris!

    Gilbert should just put his team on the front and F**k off LeoTURD Shrek. Same as Monty Dog i just hope it's Contador who batters both Schlecks

    I certaintly agree that Voeklers mindless attacks can make make for good watching... but cant help but feel that if the guy rode more tactically, he could do more on the GC... He can climb when he wants to, and he could learn to TT....

    If they don't like what Canc does they need to grow a pair and ignore him. Thor and Gilbert should certainly be above Canc's influence

    Shame for VDB. Much like Wiggo, has had a great build up and was looking good.

    Gilbert for Yellow as well as green then :D

    At least the Vuelta field should improve.
    Basso and Cunego to be reborn? :P

    aye, as much distaste as I have for his ethics professionally, I wouldn't wish serious injury on anyone.

    The truly amazing statistic amongst all this daily carnage, is that Frank Schleck is yet to fall off.

    I hope the Italian lads, (Basso and Cunego) who have so far managed to stay safe, can find their old GT form, as the GC competition is now looking a bit thin.

    +1.

    Given the way he went at Suisse, and his conservative approach in week 1, wonder if Damiano has ambitions?

    if Cunego gets over the Tourmalet, I think he can go top ten.
