I'm following it, and you're doing great with Moucherad in TdF. But as you say, now that people know that the story will end, they're just waiting for the new one.


you have to follow, because you are still in TOP10 overall Grin

I`m still following it too, just hopes that the V3 can be waiting with its release a bit longer

Stage 7

i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/10072010-0.png

As there are some sprinter points in first half, I´ve decided to send Passeron into early break. He really gained some points, but less then I hoped for...
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/10072010-1.png

Breakaway group was caught and we can detect first attack in hilly part. It´s Garcia followed by Contador!
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/10072010-2.png

Next one is Sanchez...
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/10072010-3.png

...and Frank Schleck.
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/10072010-4.png

Disaster for his younger brother Andy! He crashed together with Pineau and lost more then 4 minutes. It´s a big hit for Saxo´s plans...
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/10072010-5.png

Four attackers formed strong leading group, it is dangerous for yellow jersey!
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/10072010-6.png

Di Luca attacks and Basso can´t wait for anything and follow him. Valverde and Fedrigo counter too!
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/10072010-7.png

Hilly sprint, Frank moves forvard, Garcia can´t hold with them.
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/10072010-8.png

Frank Schleck takes win ahead of Sanchez and Contador. Contador moves at 2nd place in GC.

Stage 8

i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/11072010-0.png

Longest stage of Tour.


Bad luck of Schleck brothers continues. 30km to go and yesterday winner Frank has got puncture!
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/11072010-1.png

Incomprehensible decision of team manager, Another TOP10 rider Gustav Larsson has been asked to help Frank to get back to peloton, but it is too late. Both elite riders will loose almost four minutes...
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/11072010-2.png

Another very close battle between Boonen and O´Grady, Tom takes his 2nd stage win and improve his advantage in sprinters competition.

Stage 11

i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/15072010-0.png


Paul Moucheraud is again in early break, collecting mountain points...he increased his advantage notebly today.
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/15072010-1.png

Last climb of the day, Col d´Haldennof. Sastre attacks first, Evans counters!
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/15072010-2.png

Contador is next!
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/15072010-3.png

Moucheraud is caught by these monsters, his work is done for today.
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/15072010-4.png

Yellow jersey is in jeopardy, Basso must act!
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/15072010-5.png

Evans again in troubles, he can´t follow Contador and Sastre! Men in Fuji jersey is Camano, last rider from early break.
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/15072010-6.png

Basso has joined Evans with Camaňo before summit. Only downhill and short flat are before riders.
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/15072010-7.png

Gap between Contador and Basso is now 48 sec, Contador is virtual leader at this moment!
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/15072010-8.png

Contador is fastest in sprint and takes stage win...we have to wait for Basso and time gap now...
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/15072010-9.png

Evans is 3rd, gap is 49 sec...Contador is new overall leader, Basso is 2 sec behind!

Stage 12

i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/16072010-0.png


John Gadret and Manuel Medina were seen in front for long time.
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/16072010-1.png

Even Paul Moucheraud gained more mountain points.
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/16072010-2.png

But real battle has started on last climb,Col du Grand Ballon. Valjavec, Andy Schleck and Di Luca were first attackers.
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/16072010-3.png

Then Basso, followed by Evans...
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/16072010-4.png

...Armstrong...Menchov...Sastre + Sanchez...

Contador finally attacks...
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/16072010-9a.png

Stage 15

i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/19072010-0.png


Hi, Pierrick Fedrigo is here. I was asked by my manager to comment today stage. Well, why not?
Stage profile was really good for me, I have good form now, so after quick consultation I have decided I´ll try to do something today.

And as planned, I joined early breakaway group. My companions were Coppel, Wegmann, Gasparotto, Martens, Patour, Albasini and Bouyer. Fairly strong squad I think.
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/19072010-1.png

When we climbed to Col de Saint - Cergue, I have heard that Valverde with Paulinho attacked peloton and are getting closer to our group.
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/19072010-2.png

Valverde joined us in descent with 45km to go, Paulinho didn´t manage that...
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/19072010-3.png

Valverde set his own pace in front in Col de la Faucille and Patour, Coppel and Bouyer weren´t able to follow. I felt perfect and had no problems to hold.
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/19072010-4.png

Strong group including Sastre, Sanchez, Menchov, Andy Schleck jumped away from pack in descent. Basso, Contador, Evans and other favourites stayed calm. Our leading decreased to 1 minute...
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/19072010-5.png

Col de la Joux, as expected Sastre´s group joined us in climb. I hoped we´ll survive before them, but no chance...
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/19072010-6.png

Few moments later Menchov and Andy Schleck attacked and our group was broken...it hurt, but I was able to follow them!
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/19072010-7.png

Only downhill and short flat were before us, only 8 riders were in front - Sanchez, Sastre, Andy Schleck, Di Luca, Vandevelde, Gesink, Menchov and ME! I was only the one from early break who was able to stay with these monster climbers.
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/19072010-8.png

Even I´ve tried several times to sneak away in downhill after quick recovery, but it was impossible, Samuel Sanchez made great his jobs.
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/19072010-9.png

Finish was close, I was in promising position before sprint...
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/19072010-9a.png

...but Samuel and Andy were simply stronger, I didn´t manage to go past them.
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/19072010-9b.png

Contador came 1´40" later as 10th.
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/19072010-9c.png

And Basso? His performance today was really weak, he came in bunch with more then 3 min loss and had to pull off yellow jersey....
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/19072010-9d.png


Well, I took podium place, our second on Tour. I hope it satisfied my manager beagle...that´s enough from me, thanks for attention, cya sometimes later!

Paul Mouchearud shows his jersey again in early break, collecting as many as points possible.
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/22072010-1.png

Col de la Croix Fry - Rodas, Rodriguez and Kirchen join leading group.
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/22072010-2.png

And it´s not enough for Rodriguez, he attacks leading group and goes for long solo ride.
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/22072010-3.png

30km to go, Col de Joux Plane. Leipheimer leads bunch of about 40 riders, only Kirchen and Rodriguez stay in front, Rodriguez with more then 2 min advantage.
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/22072010-4.png

Pace set by Levi is murderous, only Schleck brothers, Lovkvist, Evans, Sanchez, Sastre, Basso, Armstrong, Menchov and Contador can hold.
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/22072010-5.png

12km to go, bottom of final climb, Avoriaz. Rodriguez, last escapee is caught.
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/22072010-6.png

Andy opens attack!
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/22072010-7.png

But Levi with Contador don´t let him go away. There is significant gap between three leaders and rest of group!
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/22072010-8.png

But Sastre with Basso were able to join them quickly.
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/22072010-9.png

Andy attacks again!
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/22072010-9a.png

No chance, 2km to go...
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/22072010-9b.png

Ivan Basso cracked!
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/22072010-9c.png

Alberto opens the sprint...
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/22072010-9d.png

...but Levi moves to front...
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/22072010-9e.png

...and takes stage win! Contador is 2nd, great double for Astana!
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/22072010-9f.png

Basso lost 30s today...

Stage 18

i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/23072010-0.png


Queen stage of Tour with Col de la Madeleine, Col de la Croix de Fer, col du Telegraphe, mythical Col du Galibier and final climb Col de Granon (instead of L´Alpe D´Huez).


Frank Schleck decided for long solo ride, his effort took polka dot jersey to him. Moucheraud must try to take it back in last mountain stage the day after tomorrow...
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/23072010-1.png

Col du Galibier, Contador, Sastre, Basso and Evans jumped away from bunch.
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/23072010-2.png

But they were almost caught in descent....
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/23072010-3.png

...when Evans with Sastre stunned all with surprise attack!i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/23072010-4.png

Situation after downhill just before final climb...Frank...5min back Sastre, Evans...7min Di Luca...9min peloton....unbeliavable mistake from Astana and Liquigas teams!
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/23072010-5.png

Col de Granon, Sastre attacks Evans!
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/23072010-6.png

Basso goes over Di Luca.
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/23072010-7.png

Frank cracked, Sastre takes stage leading.
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/23072010-8.png

Contador goes past Di Luca too, they have Basso in sight.
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/23072010-9.png

Contador catch Basso and Frank Schleck. Evans are not far away.
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/23072010-9a.png

Basso drops out again! Contador is simply better in final part of race.
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/23072010-9b.png

Carlos Sastre is very close, Evans is 2 min back, Contador another minute.
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/23072010-9c.png

Carlos Sastre wins in queen stage and gains yellow jersey with huge advantage!!!
i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/beagle74/23072010-9d.png

Evans hold 2nd place ahead of Contador and Basso.
