After watching the highlights of yesterday's stage:
Am I the only one who noticed Contador's expression of pure pain and the fact that he was pedalling VERY unevenly? There's no way that knee isn't still injured.
I noticed it too, and apparently, our perception is spot on:

"Today1:30riding&relax,acupuncture for my knee"
I still hope a miracle..that he comes back and will beat Andy finaly with final TT. There is impossibe to like younger Schleck
One interesting riders to follow..HTC guys Velits and Martin. How long they will keep up.

Martin is not really interesting, he will blow up in first or second mountain stage. Velits, on the other hand, if he repeats his ride from the Vuelta, will probably hang on to top10.
If offense is the best defence, does it mean that defence is the worst defence?

Next to Kolobnev also Popovych won`t start today. He suffers from his crashes plus a bad fever today.
So another RadiShack rider less.
I think all the other injured riders will start today. |

I've taken a risk and place a PCM bet on Cavendish for today.
He needs to do something if he wants to keep his green jersey hopes alive.
There was a very interesting tweet from Craig Lewis during Sunday's race
@craiglewis85 Craig Lewis
I've seen Cav make up 3-4mins on a descent to catch back on. Bernie, Cav and especially Renshaw are the best in the business. #tdf
Obviously, as they take their time getting up the climbs, their descending is never shown. This comment gives me hope that they'll be able to keep in touch over such a short day with only Cat 3-4 climbs.
BTW: I would recommend following Craig Lewis' tweets during TdF. He's following the racing and tweeting his thoughts quite a lot. You don't need a twitter account to follow him - just click the link:

you may recall he was injured during the Giro:
Here's another tweet from SUnday

Traditional Pre-Race tweeting:
I am most shocked by Doping Control waking Johnny H @ 7am. Part of me understands why (has he overdone it with the painkillers?), but FFS, give the guy a break...
@MarkCavendish Mark Cavendish
A look at the stage to start off the morning. A short one, but undulating with a technical finish. www.twitpic.com/5... www.twitpic.com/5...
@thejensie Jens Voigt
ok restday done and here we go-back in the circus.short and intense stage ahead,but fair chance for a bunchkick,we'll see.
@mattgoss1986 Matt Goss
Back in action today and its going to be fast and furious, 160k and a potential sprint at the finish. Time to switch on legs and head again!
@swiftybswift Ben Swift
Back to action today after a nice rest day yesterday. The sun is out to play again. Short but tough stage. Should be some sort of kick.
@GeraintThomas86 Geraint Thomas
Interesting day ahead... Short up n down day. Europcar to defend, HTC to step in?? Bunch kick??

Down to 6 for @TeamRadioShack. Strong man Popo didn't recover from his crashes and is oout with a high fever. We'll miss you, Popo...
@nedboulting Ned Boulting
Just spoke to Johnny Hoogerland. Not sleeping well, woken up by doping control at 7. 33 stitches, and other wounds glued up. Rides on. Hat.
@tvangarderen88 Tejay van Garderen
I think all the sprinters on this team have a masters degrees in algebra. Amazing how they can plan to the second what the time cut will be

Here we go.. Stage 10! Looks straight forward on the map but tricky little finish. Suits the mad dog @mattgoss1986!
@Mark_Renshaw Mark Renshaw
Done my homework for today's stage. Sprint at 37km, full gas at 143kms till the finish in Carmaux for a tight finish.
@StueyOG STUART O'GRADY
Sprint. Cav or gossy. Gonna be fun watching europecar trying to control the race ... 
EDIT
It's now raining!
@tvangarderen88 Tejay van Garderen
Rain again!!! You gotta be fucking kidding me
@mattgoss1986 Matt Goss
Come on france!!! Give us a break, rain again!
@mattgoss1986 Matt Goss
Hail stones as well!!!! Sorry france didn't mean to aggravate u with the last tweet. https://yfrog.com/...

Ice falling like rain.
Ridiculous that they woke Hoogerland at that time after what he has been going through. Unless they have reasonable suspicion.

Summer hail is quite unusual in the UK and I assume N France/Benelux/Netherlands, so many of the riders won't have seen them in July.
I checked Wikipedia and they are more common nr Mountain ranges
Hail is more common along mountain ranges because mountains force horizontal winds upwards (known as orographic lifting), thereby intensifying the updrafts within thunderstorms and making hail more likely
...snip...
Across Europe, Croatia experiences frequent occurrences of hail. |
