Im sorry to say but Voeckler is not very good on this downhill. He is breaking while going round corners where its best to break while coming straight into the corner and then pulling the bike round the corner without breaks. |

Were someone important left behind on the descend? Pace has increased a lot... |

Nibali went off the front and he is a threat to Andy Schleck's white jersey.

Nibali was caught again
I haven't heard anything else about Kirchen, so I'm assuming he recovered enough to still be in the pack...

F. Schleck says the plan yesterday was to attack in the final 3-4kms but when the time came he was dead.
He also thanked Sastre for the moral support and for not attacking, as that would've dropped Frank for sure.

Uhm, I read that it was mainly due to the wind that they didn't attack. |

I read that too, but this was eurosport reporter Olivier Bonamici saying he interviewed schleck in person.

Di Gregorio can't downhill for shit after his near-crash
Schumacher is also riding very weird. Earlier on he was telling the breakaway riders to work togethor and went Perez was trying to drop Velits and Di Gregorio Schumacher told him to stop. Then Schumacher attacks on the Telegraphie
As my dad would say "typical Nazi trick"...

well, he was going backwards when I saw it, so he was probably still having the problem at the time.

Di Gregorio is now 20-30 seconds behind the 3 others...
My favorite for this stage is Frank Schleck. He won here for 2 years ago, and i think he is going to be the strongest today...

that can't possibly be used as an example...he won because he was in a break. he lost 2:10 on the favorites on the final climb

My favorite today is... Kohl. No seriously. Evans wont attack knowing he can beat Sastre and F. Schleck at the final TT, CSC will cover each others backs, Valverde will crack, Vande Velde just dont have the power to get away from the others and those i dont mention doesnt of course matter. Thats opinions in a nutshell.

frank has really improved his climbing, though. And anyway, look how much he has progressed - he's in the yellow jersey! |

We can speculate all we want, but in the end it's unpredictable.
EDIT:
For Laurens Ten Dam we have a special thing in mind - Erik Dekker

on the other hand, it's not like anybody chased him. The one time he was up against everyone else in "fair game", he got dropped.
