    Don't get what Liquigas are trying to do.

    Neither sky nor Lotto are under pressure.

    Valverde currently not putting that much time into the few behind. Some boos as well apparently.

    Would a deal of stage in exchange for no attack be contemplated between Sky and Liquigas?

    He said this morning that today was his last chance at a stage win and that he would go for it if he could, basically said he wasn't bothered about the GC.

    Sky look strong enough to chase any breaks and take the stage.

    Betting on outright winner suspended by at least one major bookmaker. Done deal.

    I wonder if Valverde (if he managed to win) will be decent like Millar and mention doping in a post-race interview?

    I think if he wins it will be the icing on the Turd.

    Good points this Tour, Brit stage wins, Brad Yellow, Sky great team work , Sagan

    Low points this Tour, debateable parcours, poor opposition, potentially Valv winning a stage and personally not hitting a 1000 posts

    5 Sky vs 2 Liquigas.

    Would be nice to see Sky blow it apart and go for the win

    Nothing to debate - The course is pish with a capital F - Someone needs to tell prudhomme that another year of this will kill the tour.

    I get the feeling Klödi doesn't get on with Zubeldia, he didn't look at him for one second when he punctured then and rather than riding together just pelted it.

    This parcours is solely so that next year can be colossal.

    The parcours is only partially to blame.
