So do KoM, under 25, and team classifications seem to be virtually set? |

Kom yes, U25, most likely unless Schleck blows up spectacularly, Team well no.

The same way that we have random crazy crushes on random riders, the PT eurosport commentators are doing the same this Tour with Grega Bole.
Right now they're going on about the greatest cyclist ever. They've agreed on Grega Bole 1st, Eddy Merckx 2nd.

Yeah, just as I was clicking "Post" about Bole. How fitting.

Why is the coming mountain named Soulor here ? It's Aubisque, isn't it ? They're climbing on the side they descended the other day, and the other way round, right ? |

Nope
Theyre heading to the Soulor from the North today - whereas the other day they went West from the Soulor to Aubisque

From one of the sides, you climb the Soulor, then have an extra step of a short bit on the Aubisque, while the other side is all Aubisque (because the two mountains are right next to each other)
Just like the Galibier and Lautaret

Omega Pharma (what a name for cycling team) first time at the front. They are worried that Sastre will drop vd Broeck one place down in GC |

Just like the Galibier and Lautaret I know, I climbed it in 2007[/img] (Soulor + short Aubisque side, what they did 2 days ago), but here on Eurosport they're calling it Soulor, which makes no sense.

As for Lautaret and Galibier, I've been there too, and climbed it that way too. Difference is you can go to Besançon through the Lautaret without going up the Galibier, whereas there's almost nowhere to go when you're between Soulor and Aubisque. Must have a Lautaret and a Galibier picture at home somewhere...

Sastre's definitely blown it!
Boassen-Hagen looks very strong at the moment.
The question for Saxo is: Do we push BEFORE the Tourmalet?
BTW. I'm not Russian. I'm British. I have been, all my life |

Or rather: Will Astana push before the Tourmalet, thereby immediately isolating Andy Schleck? |

The Danish national jersey in front is a beautiful sight. It has been very visible this Tour.

Actually, Hagen was dropped on the previous climb even without the pace getting high at all.
And look, he's getting distanced again now. Well duh, he's in no way shape or form a climber.

I don´t understand Andy...
You should kill Alberto´s team in this climb so he is alone in the last one... |

It is interesting to see BMC and Sky riders in the break today, I wonder if they read the PCM Daily rest day thread
Not sure Saxo riders really want to do much on the Souler (well they haven't), we shall probably see them on the lower slopes of the Tormalet with Cancellara, C A Sorenson and Fuglsang. |

There's no way anyone on the Saxo Bank squad isolates Contador except Schleck himself.
