There's no way anyone on the Saxo Bank squad isolates Contador except Schleck himself.
Exactly. If Saxo burn their matches now it will end up Andy vs. Contador, Vino, and probably Navarro. |

Hmmm Sammy Sanchez is going to have big trouble today just saw him holding that shoulder again... I am sure Liggett/Sherwin will be licking their lips at Leipheimers chances of making top 5. |

Let's also hope they don't return on the descent.

Saxo Bank had bought some sheep to crash the Astana riders. Didn't succeed, though.
Next up: Bears.

My thoughts on the Tourmalet:
The same as I posted 3 weeks ago. Schleck hasn't peaked for anything all season, he's fresh as a cucumber, while Contador has peaked 3 times so far this season and is clearly very tired, even having trouble dropping people he usually destroys. So Schleck will probably win the stage.
Contador will still win the Tour, though. Schleck can't TT. Even with this Tour's ridiculously few TT kms, it still won't be few enough for Schleck.

I doubt that'll do the trick. Remember, Contador once wrestled a bear.

makes perfect sense. I also think that Schleck is little better today. Lets hope that he can get a yellow and will move yellow- faster in TT

Contador has a ridiculously strong team thoug.

Yeah, but Schleck got him with a single punch, so he'll be able to attack while Contador is busy.
Also, Mike, you got that from Jens Voigt last year

Third animal funny of this years TdF:
First was the wild boar the helicopter seemed to be following one day.
Second was the annual dog incident.
Third the Saxosheep  |

Actually, the "Saxosheep" were painted in Astana blue (I'm serious). Make of that what you will.

So did O'Grady and Cancellara have the best rest day ever? (Bloodtransfusions anyone?)
