    Moser looks great!

    He's doing the family name proud there.

    WOW! Great riding by Riblon who, having had a poo, catches up with Moser.

    Froome resisting temptation to throw bottle across switchback at Bert.

    :P :P

    No need for talk like that. This is a family programme.

    Why not a cat in hell's chance for Riblon? Peloton 7 mins behind with 25km to go, it looks like someone from the break should do it.

    Is Kreuziger going to blow his podium doing this for Bertie?

    It'll be difficult for anyone to attack on the Alpe with crowds like that, go early where the crowds are thinner or wait until late until the barriers.

    So, let the Saxo boys dangle in front for a while at 20 seconds, that'll suit Sky fine.

    I must say the painting on the road has been very pedestrian this year

    I agree... I said this before the first crest of Alpe d'Huez that the peloton wont catch all in front. Once over the Sarenne down to teh base of Alpe d'Huez they wont lose time to the peloton. So even with 6 mins at the start of the second climb, they will be good. Moser, Riblon and teeeejaaaay are all handy climbers

    Let them drag themselves along the valley floor and then just pick them off on the ascent.

    I like Contador, but I'm not sure he has seen the wind this tour.

    Hopefully, TJ hasn't panicked he was the strongest of those 3 first time up and I reckon he's still got a chance

    Thanks. No chain guard? Anyone know if he hit a bump that knocked the chain off or was it a mis-shift?

    Bit they are on now is the continuation of the descent of the Col du Lautaret towards Bourg

    You mean because Contador's not a good climber? :lol:
