I think Columbia and Saxo have worked too much to be contenders for a win

I love this. A superb stage and the best part of it is that Skil had 5 men there were everybody, even in the Netherlands, were wondering what the fuck they were doing in the Tour 
Laughing my ass off now.
And Astana... definately split in two now 
Skil - Shimano was actually the best team today with 3th, 8th and 12th spot.
Your absolutely wright, that team with their yellow shirts and the worlds best sprinters wasnt nearly as good as Skil, how are they called, Columbia or something? <.< god you are ignorant.
We were talking about the official team classification of the day |

In my mind there are 2 maybe 3 teams that can compete for victory tomorrow: SaxoBank, Astana and Garmin
What about Columbia? Winner of the one in Giro? 
Columbia has antecipated the TTT one day... I don't think they will be able to perform that good 2 days in a row... they'll be rotten tomorrow

Great stage today. Two flat stages and Boonen hasn't got a top10 what more could you ask for?
As Freire, Bennati or Napolitano...
you're missing the point... I'm talking about drug addicts

I think Astana did a great job, and I don' believe Contador will be mad. He and Armstrong only benefit from having each other that high on the GC.
Go Garmin tomorrow! |

I agree
I still think that Zubeldia is Alberto's man... He didn't actually work against Contador today, becuase there were no other GC riders in the group. The 40 seconds didn't actually make Lance the team leader... He worked for Lance because Johan Brunyeel told him so... |

And I really believe that the Astana camp will be fine after they mop up tomorrow. You can't believe that Lance and Alberto don't communicate at all. I am sure they talk and try to work things out. |

Yeah, although it is much more fun when the team is split in two camps and working against eachother |

Just arrived home, installing PCM 09 now.
But what did I say:
3 Cyril Lemoine (Fra) Skil-Shimano
That guy can. |

yes yes, that makes for interesting tactics and stuff. But they are still human and want to win the big money |

yeah you're right.
HTC is a mobile phone make (like Nokia) and thats clearly what he's been told to do as a celebration today.

Wow! What a stage!
Im so glad the group stayed away, brilliant brilliant from Columbia. They deserved the win in the end and Cavendish duly delivered.
But look at the Green jersey comp. Its already coming down to Cav v Hushovd. |

"I'd prefer to stay out of the drama of who's the leader of the team. I've won the Tour seven times, I think I deserve a little bit of credit. But Alberto's a great rider too and we've got to go with the two leaders, but that doesn't mean you can't take advantage of opportunities like today."

Christophe Le Mével (who, incidentally, if everyone was clean would be one of the best climbers in the world) says the guy who lost his teammates' wheel and thus caused the split in the pack was.....Contador. |

Astana tactic or just bad riding?

All of Contador's rivals were left behind - Menchov, Sastre, Schlecks, Evans. There was no reason to chase - Armstrong will die in the mountains. |
