This stage is awesome, not only because of all the attacks, but specially because when you watch the GC now, no one except Evans have an argument to avoid attacks. The Alps are going to be very interresting 
Team Europcar !!

I don't think Voeckler will lose it tomorrow - i reckon the favourites will take it easy.

Same basic route
That stage was MUCH longer, though. Also Andy is scared of tomorrow's descent. He says it is inconceivable that ASO has included it.
yes. Inconceivable. It's been used before.
Riders should learn to just get on with it.
There's no point slapping a schleck - Sean Kelly on "Who needs a slap"

Tour de Norvege! 14 place on the WT list!
Yeh, go Norway! Not as good as 13 other countries 
you can say that.
But still, 13th place, beacause of 2 riders, the other up there are doing so great with 8-9-15 riders...lol
Britain?
well both britain and norway have done good, when you look at the squad and country population

Sorry Andy but when you go up, you have to go down
There should be a bet Andy vs Cav at the bottom of the descent...

nice move by Contador & Evans. The Schlecks will have to attack if they want to win the tdf! what happend to andy? didn't he eat enough or something?
My guess is we just found out why The Schlecks didn't attack much harder on Luz Ardiden and Plateau de Beille. They just aren't good enough.

Contador attacked and kept the pace high after the others caught up to him.
Take notes of that, Andy. |

It's not just they it's been used before. I mean, Menchov was there, and survived. They're safe.

Sadly, I have to agree. At least they looked really bad on the climb today.

I rather think Frank isn´t good enough and Andy just didn´t eat enough. Otherwise he could have done some work in the last kilometers.

Todays stage showed that Contador is needed in Le Tour. He's the only one who dares to attack. So happy that he destroyed the Schlecks
Pozzato sucks!

Andy complaining about the stage, saying people don't want to see the Tour decided on a downhill. Actually Andy if the stages that decide the tour are anything like today then I think people would be quite happy with that. |

In general, i agree with A.Schleck, but to win the Tour one must show some descending skills, too. And today it wasn´t the downhill where he actually lost contact with Evans...

Well, today it has get shown that neither Frank or Andy likes going fast in a downhill. They both are not good descenders.
