    Evans has pulled 20 seconds back already - can he sustain it, or is he just going to end up bringing some of the other guys back into contention?

    you might not like him, but you've got to say - fair play to A Schleck. He's brought the pain today.

    At least Andy and Evans are both realising today that if you want to win the TdF you've got to be prepared to lose big style if it goes wrong. What's the point in riding to the podium again?

    Still only 30 secs of time clawed back.

    The gap was 4.30 so it's more than 30 secs, but it's stalled at about 1m now.

    Good on Evans giving it a go to claw it back. WTF are the rest playing at?

    Evans needs to step it up a tad more, the gap's falling at about 20 seconds per KM and that's not enough.

    LOL. "playing," are you kidding? They have nothing else in their legs.

    Never saw it go above 4.10 and wrote that 3.40 but willing to stand corrected. Awesome effort from Schleck Jnr and Evans.
