I dont know if valverde is dead or is just testing his legs. His attack just carry enough punch. Sooner or later he is gonig to have to make a big attack. |

Well, Contador did it in the Giro this year. Apparently very effective.
Sastre may end up with a lead of 2 minutes over Evans in the GC after today... is that enough to at least put doubt in everyone's mind? Or is a 2:30 to 3 minute lead needed? |

Valverde looks like he is ready to pounce. Vandevelde isnt going to let him go though... |

I think Sastre needs around 2'45 going into the TT to stand a chance

I think he needs another half minute on top of that just to stand a chance

Which would mean Sastre would need to win by 3'26"
Probably not going to quite get that much... but it might be close. |

The yellow jersey does magical things to people
Whn he is in yellow and is riding for the TdF win he will find new depths. I think 2'45 he will stand a chance, not necassarily win but he can't be counted out.
No need to contemplate it though as he isn't even going to be 2.5 minutes ahead of Cadel..

Sastre obviously knows that he won't win the Tour when he has time to ride that slowly on the last meters. |
