What does that make valverde behind contador? like 30 secs? That should get interesting.
Levi is ahead of contador what...30 secs? I wonder if alberto will fade this vuelta...part of me hopes he will but my instinct says he won't. |

So, what happened? I missed it 
We all missed it  They could only broadcast the last 300 meters.
 That's funny. Easy day for the commentators then 
Not really. They even talked about how people go to Andorra to buy cheap televisions but France have some kind of limit to how many televisions you can bring across the border. Very exciting! And when they finally showed some live pictures, they thought that Ballan was still 5km's from the line, so they started talking about how he most certainly would be caught by the favorites. Then Ballan went round the corner, raised his arms, and crossed the line |

So what happened. Ballan won? Chavanel still in charge? Contador playing ball? |

"Yesterday was a tough stage for everyone, the weather was terrible," confirmed Egoi MartÃnez (Euskaltel-Euskadi) to Bjorn Haake of Cyclingnews. "It was cold and just really difficult. Also, with the wind, it was dangerous too.
"I think the climbs coming in Austria will be harder and we will see the favourites wait until then."
Option A: Cyclingnews are idiots
Option B: MartÃnez is an idiot
Option C: All of the Above
Option D: No I don't like cabbage, stop with the stupid options please.

I guesse that Garate will win today, if Astana don't open up on the second last climb, if they do Contador will proberbly win.

nah, the gap is way too small. The only chance he has is that nobody attacks or chases. And since there's no fog, that won't happen.

Valverde also has a good chance of winning if he can make it with the favorites to the finish
