And it was thanks to Voigt he survived because Voigt gave him 2 energy gels. 
Voigt is one of the nicest athlete's I know in any sport. |

Fun fact about the glory saint Jens von Deutschland, he did say at the team meating before the last stage of Tour of Denmark that the team should fight for Kurt Asle Arvesen to win a middle sprint som he could win the GC instead of Voigt.

By the way, a Norwegian cross country coach received a trailer load of syrup when he gave a stick to Sarah Renner.
Some package of weed will be sent to Jens, now?

Millar was in as 181st (and last?) at 42 minutes, 5 minutes inside the time limit. The groupetto was in at 34 minutes. |

Schleck says he was on his limit after his last attack, he says he would have dropped himself if he had attacked one more time. |

Hmm, Gesink also said he was the best climber of their group and he held back a few times because Menchov was signing to slow down.

Evans says he has a fractured arm.

nice answer..(almost like Voigt has sayed it)
Edit: and he was probably also joking..he was looking real good all day.
p.s. Saxo riding realy smart tour again..with Fränk they would have killed everyone.
Navarro..he has been "Szmydt"..when he moves to the front there is nothing left

Doubt it, in the same interview (on letour.fr) he said that when Jens pulled he was on his limit. |

Menchov is usually better in the Pyrenees than in the Alps so I can see him improve and maybe take 3rd place. Gesink maybe for a top 5? Though he has to get rid of Levi and VDB. |

Cadel is the lukiest man on earth in GTs. He had that respiratory virus in letour09, that puncture in vuelta09, he had fever in this giro and now he had a fracture elbow. Great. I tell you, that WC title is a miracle for him. Now I'm sure of that.

Casar! Great ride today 
Also, thanks for the autograph from a few days ago Sandy
I feel a bit sorry for S.Sánchez after he was so very close to catching up Contador and Schleck. He's in a great position for a podium now however and from what we've seen from past Grand Tours he could be even stronger in the later mountain stages. It's probably between him and Menchov.
EDIT: Oh and I have Charteau's autograph also, along with Vockler's and all the Sky riders

Once again Samuel outclimbs most of the peloton.
And considering he tends to be far stronger in the 3rd week....and also that the stages where bigger gaps are more likely are in the 3rd week....I'd say he's looking good for a podium.
Now stand back for a second and consider for a second that Contador's illness just before the Tour had taken a turn for the worse and the peloton never slowed down to allow Schleck to re-enter in the Spa stage.
We'd be looking at Samuel as the main candidate for yellow.
Funny the way life turns, eh?
EDIT:
Also, Armstrong massively improved after BBM. WHO WOULD'VE GUESSED???????
