    Ooo Andy! Giving a death stare to peeps that booed him just then. Yeah Andy. Get mad. Go on boy. Destroy some demons.

    History tells us that isn't his traditional response to adversity

    I know but I can hope. :?

    Just think, on a 'normal' Alpe d'Huez day, that would be the end. Stage over.

    Someone to attack just before the summit of Sarenne and try to go on the descent? Or too much opportunity to pull that back at the bottom?

    I'd like to see Kennaugh and Porte pull a moonie to the booing fans.

    They wouldn't have ridden up like that if it was just one ascent!

    I'll give it to Tommy, good ride for Rolland, and he know's how to show his sacrifice.

    If he could dance he'd be in Swan Lake.

    So would it be illegal for Voekler to have a rest for an hour and pace Rolland up a second time?
    (will get eliminated, obvs).

    Nieve attacked TV and Rolland but they cut back too late to see who went over the summit first for the polka dot points.

    The state of that road :lol:

    Contador needs to place his faith in the almighty and abandon all sense and safety here.

    How crude that football field looks with the peloton snaking past. Think I even saw a couple of the youth team practising their agony rolly-pollys.
