Cadel needs to gain time tomorrow on both Voeckler and Andy, cause I don't think he can melt a 1 minute deficite in the ITT on Saturday. The ITT isn't so flat and long, but we'll see. I'm praying for Cadel this night and the next one  .
The TT is quite technical, if I remember well, not like last year here in Bordeaux

I can´t be too difficult. Andy didn´t complain about it (yet).

I just can't stand seeing one of the Schlecks win. That'd be like ...

Just imagine the blue in the Luxembourgian flag was a bit darker. Then everything is alright for you

Contador should be going for the stage. He can't take GC.
Contador won't be going for anything, for the same reason he couldn't handle the main group today: he doesn't have it, whatever you wanna call it (strength, health, beef). If he had anything to give today he would have given it to reach the front.
This TdF is over for Alberto imo.
Could be interesting to see if today was an "off-day" or if this is really what he has left in the tank - I'm not a Contador-fan, but I sort of think he deserves a stage win on top of all the crashes and the overall bad luck he's had in this tour.
Honestly, I can understand if the Giro was just too hard this year for him to recover.
He shouldn't have been here in the first place, so it's fine by me if he comes away with nothing
Enough with the whole clenbuterol-thing already. He's here now, and I intend to treat him on equal terms with the other riders - until the decision has been made :-) |

No.
Nationality doesn't matter for me that much.
If it did, I would have given up cycling or never become a fan in the first place. When i became a fan of cycling there were no dutch cyclists of note, in 1994. Well there was blijlevens maybe and some stage winners but no gc riders.
I'm used to dutch guys failing so no news there.
It's just that I hate the Schlecks. Courtesy of mainly Andy though. Like I said before it's not fair to Fränk who always is a nice guy. |

Fränk is quite nice actually. Much more than Andy at least.

Yes, in interviews and such Fränk seems a very nice guy to me.
But then I remember he is the brother of Andy and I instantly wish him the worst.
Kinda unfair to Fränk really. but hey |

I don't think you guys should discount Danny Pate so soon. He hasn't been seen on the front in a while, perhaps saving energy for tomorrow? Don't forget he has nearly won a mountain stage before...

Moncoutié on the move tomorrow.
A short stage should suit him, ascending finish too. Last mountain stage of his last TDF. Finished in the grupetto today after vainly attacking in the beginning of the stage.
I can't imagine him not trying a long (well, I know it's a short stage) breakaway. |

Lol, from what I've seen of Moncoutie this Tour you are hoping for something that is impossible.
Unless he eats a good steak Moncoutie will be nowhere.
Even a totally failing Gesink has more chance. |

You hate Andy. You don't like Frank. That's all. So why do you trying to make some excuses about it all the time?

Andy doing everything..to get more fans to hate him.
ruben sayed..Fränk is allright..and you want to make that fact impossible.
anyway I have nothing to talk with guy..who is thinking that was Evans first time at the front of the peloton..and he is wheelsucker...
This is like repeating that world is flat as pancake..because others are saying it.

Even Gesink himself doesn't know why.
He said he will go maximum again tomorrow: "Because that way I'll be faster in Paris. I just want it to be over with".
He has his head already at Tour of Colorado and Quebec/Montreal and the other autumn classics. |
