I think even Sanchez would struggle to pull back 7 and a half minutes on a descent. He may just have to hope that the bunch stop chasing the break."In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

sky and BMC seem to have pushed the peloton on - they have taken 3-4 minutes out of the leading group of 6 - but that seems to have compounded the suffering Sanchezhttp://veloviewer.com/SigImage.php?a=3370a&r=3&c=5&u=M&g=p&f=abcdefghij&z=a.png

Rai go live with 76kms to go. Gap at 4 and a half, with BMC driving the front."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0

The medical department of ASO informed letour.fr of the state of Euskaltel’s Samuel Sanchez who is struggling more than six minutes behind the peloton: suspicion of broken ribs.http://veloviewer.com/SigImage.php?a=3370a&r=3&c=5&u=M&g=p&f=abcdefghij&z=a.png

EBH now driving the Sky train - with 60 km to go the gap is 4 minutes. I would have thought EBH would have fancied today for himself.
No update on Sanchez, but I expect a retirementhttp://veloviewer.com/SigImage.php?a=3370a&r=3&c=5&u=M&g=p&f=abcdefghij&z=a.png

Lovely.
You watch how quickly he gets rid of them once someone captures a pic of them covered in cereal bar, gel residue and snot (esp if it's not his own).0 -
and the breakaway in pieces - now only 2:16 ahead - they would have been caught already but for the peloton being slowed by Wiggins' face fuzzhttp://veloviewer.com/SigImage.php?a=3370a&r=3&c=5&u=M&g=p&f=abcdefghij&z=a.png

Exactly.
On the other hand, perhaps we're about to discover that they are Velcro patches for a new feeding device at Sky enabling riders to eat from their musettes like horses from a nose-bag?0 -

You have to wonder though when 'Solid' becomes stupid.
I haven't been watching today, stuck at work, so I'm only going by this thread. If he has broken ribs as reported would his team not be better advised pulling him from the race and allowing more time to recover before the Tour?“New York has the haircuts, London has the trousers, but Belfast has the reason!0 -
Sanchez is 15 mintues back - he wont make the cut surelyhttp://veloviewer.com/SigImage.php?a=3370a&r=3&c=5&u=M&g=p&f=abcdefghij&z=a.png
