    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

    After attacking did Andy nearly ride off the side of the mountain or were my eyes deceiving me?

    Andy Schleck just rode past a fan at the roadside wearing a Leopard jersey who just did a double take at him, didn't clap or cheer or anything. Presumably too stunned to react ;)

    interesting how the group is not too bothered about andy going up the road. Do they know he will loose time on the descent?

    That gap just keeps growing. It's 45 seconds already.

    Le Tour website suggests Uran is back with the Cav group - what's happened to him?

    Long descent & headwind in the valley means Andy has his work cut out to make this stick imo.

    I quite like the way that the camera keeps focussing on his name and number as if they can't believe it and want to confirm it to the rest of us!

    Are there any young riders in the yellow jersey group? 'Cos Uran is out the back.

    Suicide Attack - He will blow on the Galibier and both shclecks will fin 10 mins down

    You'd let him work for a while. As long as everyone is prepared to do a bit to pull him back later.

    Even with team mates up ahead, the headwind in the valley could make it tough.

    Well. that's an interesting development.
    The cycnics would say that he's gaining ground a bit like a sprinter in reverse, getting to the descent before the rest! :lol:
    If it's the real deal, good luck to him!

    Fair play to him if this move succeeds but it's a hell of a long way to ride by yourself. If they catch him half way up the Galibier then that's his challenge over.
