    guess Froome was to attack and leave Wiggins with the other 2 .. sadly the other 2 followed Froome so he had to knock off ...

    Either that or Sky are cnuts and Froome needs to grow a pair ...

    I vote option 2
    BMC GF01
    Quintana Roo Cd01
    Project High End Hack
    Cannondale Synapse SL (gone)
    I like Carbon

    Cuddles recovered a bit over the last few kms then and didn't lose any more time.

    Was good to see to be fair!

    Shame that Wiggo didn't distance Froome when he was resting at the back of the group, think it might have made for a more exciting stage.
    You live and learn. At any rate, you live

    My inner chimp is making a lot of noises about Froome! :oops:

    Well OK - how much time did they gain (if any) on Rollands up to La Touss...?

    Good to see Rolland win, good to see Cadel try to win the lour rather than sitting back and holding onto 2nd

    it's not over for evans but he's realistically only got two more mountain stages that really offer an opportunity and he needs to make up 5 minutes to survive the TT

    Will Froome obviously being better than Wiggins take the shine of Wiggin's win?

    Erm, I think you have just explained why it IS all over for Evans.

    Dont think so, Nibs looks stronger and his TT was not that bad the other day, Evans just does not look as strong as last year.
    I think it will be interesting now also becuase other teams will have to work now to watch each other as gaps are close behind front two.

    Very disappointing stage not because of the riding but because the top guys weren't allowed to go because they were pulling their teammates.

    Frankly, I hope Sky loses the tour and we see a Vuelta repeat.

    Evans cost Van Garderen today and may have even cost him the stage. I know team tactics and all but Evans was toast at the Croix de Fer and Van Garderen would have been able to get away had he been allowed to go.

    Froome is the stronger clinber and Wiggins will likely win this tour not being the best rider, which is always disappointing.
