I guess we will here comments from Ruben like:
"If Gesink would have tried in every stage like today, he had easily won this race."
f you, I'm nowhere near that chauvinistc, and never have been.
I'm passionate about cycling and I defend him against a lot of bullshit. But I never claim outrageous things.
I never claim he'll beat Contador and Schleck, I'll never claim he'd "easily win X"  Stop with the personal attacks when I haven't even reacted yet. Ass. |

None of the riders showed me anything convincing yesterday! It's looking more and more like Contador v Schleck for the tour and I'm not even confident that Andy has a strong enough team to really support him come July. I hope I'm wrong and the Tour isn't as Boring as the Giro was!!
Let's hope Green Edge doesn't fail like Pegasus!

It's interesting as in the early stages of the Dauphine people were saying that "you can't be really good in the Dauphine and then be good in the Tour" as not many people have managed that, and now after seeing some mountain stages some people are disapointed that many big name riders aren't se impressive.
As some have said, I think you could even see it as a positive that riders like Evans, Basso, Samuel Sanchez or even Brajkovic aren't yet as strong as they have been. Correct me if I'm wrong but last year Brajkovic was superstrong in the Dauphine and then went on to do nothing in the Tour while Evans was also very good a few years back battling Valverde and Contador, and then totally collapsed when Tour started. |

As a curiosity: has A. Schleck actually ever done anything worth mentioning in the build up for a GT? I've never actually watched the TdS so I don't know if he has been able to assist Cancellara or his brother well but his results have been non existent as far as I know |

No, he doesn't really care for anything that's not the Tour or LBL. That attitude pisses me off.

EBH is true monster. Rodriguez attacked on half way through the first climb and EBH and Uran caught him single handedly. Now EBH is pulling the banch.

It is exactly the same here, and this is the main reason why I can't stand those guys (I mean the Schlecks)

I don't like the riders that are only riding the tour, I agree with that. But yet again, if you want to win it, you have to focus 100 %! (talking about the GC-contenders ofc) |

Pinot leads, Gesink, Kern and Rodriguez are at 47, Uran leads the Wiggins/VDB/Vino etc group at 1'01
Correction: Gesink/Kern/Rodriguez now caught by Wiggins group

I'm missing all the action at the moment thanks to Eurosport, which still shows Le Mans. Damn them!

Yep, very annoying. I did have a stream, but it randomly became motorbikes.
