As boring as it was, just watching contador win like that against such a good field was crazy. Yes its early on but everyone's on the same boat. |

i even dont want to talk about Contador
But i dont get one, why Sanchez is waiting for so long?
It's like, "Ok.all my spanish friends has attacked. Now its my turn."
he sits with Voigt and Millar and doesnt do anything till nobody from big ones has left in his group.
Then he attacks and catches Valverde in less than a minute.
And most important rides last kilometre faster than Contador.
But why he cant do this faster? arghh... |

Yet he couldnt keep up with Valverde sprinting, let's not forget that the first 10 riders were only 200 metres max away from each other.

Contador making up time as usual. Before the first stage I said Valverde could take the overall on bonus seconds if he could stay close enough to Contador on this stage.
Close he was. But he lost time the other day, so it's Contador's race now. If his team can control it, that is.

No, the Spaniards are the only one who still ride on different fuel.
Where in all other countries the people have realised they got to act and catch dopers, Spain is still miles behind.
Look at the way they are still protecting Valverde.
I don't trust Spaniards. One bit. |

Don't think that's the only way he can lose the jersey. Although it's not very likely that he will lose it, anything can happen.

Decent ride by Kreuziger and Voigt. But what a ride by Voeckler and Peraud

But you can never say a race is over. There are still some stages to go. Liek you just said, anything can happen.
So saying a race is over, when there are still days of racing left, is stupid. |

... right, the (lack of) leg warmers really show that.
So by that logic, not wearing pants makes me a... ?

Race is far from over! Stage 6 & 7 are very hard. With a strong Caisse d'Epargne team we should see some decisive attacks, hopefully  |

Yes you´re right.I think this stages are really interesting to watch.Especially Caisse will try everything now but I still think that no one could stop Alberto if he is in an average form |

The stage to Nice is always very attacking.
I still think Contador will win the race, but you never know! (Contador at Feyance last year - i don't for 2 seconds think that will happen again)

Contador can only lose the race on the descents as I see it. With LL and Samuel Sanchez not too long behind, they have plenty opportunities to regain lost time.
