No better way to celecbrate 100 years of the Tour then the way they used to race all them years ago, from the gun, destroying each other, no teamwork. Awesome

Contador leading the descent. This will be interesting. |

YES, attack on the descent, that's exactly what you need to do to get Froome to bonk

20 km of flat before the Peyresourde. Let's hope Saxo can keep it up. |

The most important part of this stage in this scenario comes now. 30 km of downhilling and flat now.

Oh I hadn't thought of that, getting him to bonk as part of their tactics.

It's how Pereiro made Landis lose 8 minutes in 2006 at La Toussuire

This certainly looks like a Contador-Valverde alliance forming. |

Froome has to go on the descent!
I am very excited to see the flat part. There is a chance that someone will make it back.

I have to say today is the first time I've seen Contador dancing on the pedals this season
