Eurosport started really early today. I got up at 11 to find it already started. It probably started from the very start. IM going to sit here all day with my dads laptop and watch the whole race 
I wonder if a break will win again today... From what im watching now it doesnt look like they will. CSC are taking it on already and they will probably be able to control this gap.
If it comes back together today my predicts look like this :
Valverde will get dropped possibly get dropped on the Croix de fer and certainly suffer on Alpe d' huez.
I think that Menchov will take the stage with Kohl right behind him. Its a very hard one to predict but it will be interesting to see how schleck dose. Interesting stage  |

i think menchov kohl and sastre will come first of the favorites, evans will suffer some but not enough. andy schleck will do a very good job as the last helper for his brother and sastre and some of the top10 will drop. valverde will crack, cunego will not crack, he will drop before that  CVV wount make it all the way with the others and unfortunatly drop together with kirchen, i think sanchez will have a good day today aswell. f.schelck will disapoint |

I seriously considered to call in sick today as I have to work from 4PM to 8PM meaning I will miss all the action today. I decided not to as I could get in trouble, so I have boiled my Queen Stage Masterplan down to this:
Watch the stage from now to 3PM, go to work at 4PM, totally sealing me off of the world of sports, go home and watch the replay at 9:30PM, to see th final 2 hours.
Now how's that for a slice of fried chicken, or however that saying goes

After the insane morning I just had, it's good to settle down here to watch the stage. Good thing I'm on vacation for two weeks.
So this is the day when we find out if Frank has done something about his horrible recovery or if he's gonna do his usual "fall like a rock" routine.
Should be interesting

That's not fair, you're just singling him out because he tested positive 3 times in his career and always got away with laughable excuses.......oh, wait...

They probably want the stage win today, because they know it is almost impossible to get enough on Kohl Menchov and Evans. |
