Very nice stage, and truly fantastic win for Pinot!
Evans does look strong, but then Wiggo has an answer so far

Cadel Ausevans, great rider!
Roche still in top 10. I'm happy. Zubeldia showing why he is still good. He led the team of Radioshack last year when everyone crashed and got 15th.
Very good stage!

Great stage, I must say. Crazy first 2 hours, with Boasson Hagen chasing the breakaways all by himself en thereby dropping half of the field. Finally a big breakaway, with some Dutchies in it. Although they couldn't hold on, they can be proud that they tried (well, all but Gesink).
Thought Kessiakoff had it in the bag, but Pinot was very strong. And the acceleration of Van den Broeck prooves that he should hav finished in the first grup yesterday, bad luck with a puncture....
Still, Wiggins way of cycling is boring. Hope that Evans will gain more than 10 seconds tomorrow, so Wiggins has to attack!

Time Trial tomorrow, so i reckon Wiggins will increase lead a bit barring any mechanical problems |

He could hold it, but I think Van Garderen will take tomorrow, only for Taaramae to regain it later.
And I think that in two years, when Pinot is still eligable, he will win that and maybe the tour in the future.

Don't think Gallopin can timetrial. But I also thought he couldn't climb..

Stage 10 and 11 will be great, even if UK Postal takes over. So excited for the next three stages, and then Sagan wins again.

He's decent. He was 25th at Dauphine and 6th at Bayern this year. Taarame is better TT'er though.
No way he will loose that jersey tomorrow.

Swedish commentators say that timelimit is 35 min, they might be wrong though. |
