Yes, he didn't look too good yesterday. It was a great ride the day before, but it took a lot out of him, and I don't think he'll have the legs to stay in the top 10 for the whole tour

Hmm, I think Gerdemann will collapse eventually, probably in the third week.
You right about that...but Gerdemann can be happy about his 2007 TdF. |

Today is rest time if tommorrow will be with the big guys i think he can do a top 10 because he is a decent TT and with 110 km of ITT he has a chance

Me too but with a bit of the lady luck charm maybe he will do a memorable thing for a debutant on TdF maybe white jersey

yep  Kirchen was a good team mate yesterday for Gerdemann.
Didn't understand Moreau why he attacked and then didnt to the job in front of that group and why in the bloody hell evans didn't make any relay on the front of the group

Contador will own the white jersey competition if he keeps up how he rode yesterday and i think he will, he has definatley been the best youngster this year imo

Moreau is in super form right now...Daiphine win and yesterday ride. Big question mark is it last thrue the end of TdF... He was trying to get away..but he don't want to work for others.
Ewans - this is Cadel...he is absolute best backwheel rider..and incredible fighter, most of times he go's with right breakaway group.. If you want trop Ewans off on your backwheel..you have to ride max. and even over that. And belive he can attack.. if he need to go..lets say one group for another or follow attack..he is explosive |

I agree, Moreau is in fantastic form and i think he can ride like this till the end but can still only really hope for a top 10 i think
and Evans (not Ewans) is a severly under-rated rider and as you say he is an incredible fighter I don't know why he has never been named as a favourite for the tour, probably because he always rides like 1000 races before the Tour but he is always up there, and now he has paced himself through the early season he has a great chance for a podium

I think i agree with you though, plus now he has the maillot jaune no-one will let him do what he does best, long solo's in the mountains, so he will not win any more time until he loses a lot of time (hope that made sense)
i think top 10 if he encounters no problems though (thinking to 2005 TT )

For all those who says Mayo was doped; bullsh*t. In 2004 he first crashed on the cobbles, then he got mononucleosis infection, the Epstein-Barr virus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mononucl...onucleosis
It takes time to recover from that, it's not like flicking the fingers and perform in world class.

I believe Cunego also suffered from Mononucleosis a few years ago. He has no results to speak of either. |

What u think? The old Mayo will ride?
