Damn it. Sooo close.
Vandevelde is trying to get a small team a top 5 finish. He's not working FOR Evans... he's working for a top 5... which helps Evans.
With his TT a top 5 is still possible... perhaps even a podium. For Garmin-Chipotle, that would be HUGE. |

Evans needs to mark Kohl and Frank. everyone else is irrelevant.
It's everyone BUT Evans who has to do something if they want the Tour to be theirs.

Sastre has a minute now.
Andy looks very comfortable
Vandevelde looks good as well.

Sastre has pulled out a huge gap! He is very strong today. Andy is doing a good job at marking all these attacks. |

Kohl hasnt dropped off, but with lots more attacks a few people will get distanced. |

How big a gap would make the TT interesting?

The constant accelerations are killing everyone, while Sastre is going at his own pace. that is a big advantage to him

considering the huge boost that yellow gives, Sastre needs to win the stage by about 3 minutes

The group with Schleck has such a strange pace. Up and down. Menchov is back. And the group is pretty big. Sastre will be able to pull out a large gap. Over 1'30 |

if this rate keeps up, Sastre will finish with an advantage that will allow him to have a small chance of winning the overall

Have to say, weird tactics by CSC today, but they've done it perfectly. The Schlecks little accelerations and decellerations are a great tactic to give Sastre a great chance of a big gap.
