    WOW. What a stage! Best, most courageous ride I've ever seen by Andy Schleck and Cadel Evans. Fantastic to watch. Those two now have a race! (And Frank's not far off either) Tomorrow, Cadel need sto pull back another 20 seconds and it's going to be down to the TT.

    I know he's out of the running but Tom Danielson is riding out of his mind now.

    Oh Frenchie your boy took one hell of a beating.

    Will need a few steaks tonight to make that time up.

    Not quite. Evans waited too long to make any effort.

    If you can't credit Evans after that then you must be blinded by serious fanboyism.

    Tommy V needs to go and find Evans and give him a big hug of thanks. That ride by Evans was one of the most gutsy rides that I have ever seen by any rider.

    OK, assuming tomorrow there's no change, how much time could Cadel realistically pull back from Andy on a 42.5 KM TT?

    What a stage. I think Voeckler had to put it into the 39 x 28 just in order to make it to the line.

    Evans still within a minute of Andy. Tomoro will be interesting. And then it could be another TT like last year for Andy.


    Gripping stuff.

    Is Riis crying or fuming at the Schlecks?

    Well, at least if Bertie does lose his appeal against a doping ban, he won't have to hand back this year's jersey!
    Remember that you are an Englishman and thus have won first prize in the lottery of life.

    While I agree (Evans was incredible!), why are so few giving credit to the courageous ride by Andy? He took a HUGE risk going that early, alone.
