Still in White right? Or did Taaramae snatch that?

This is the first stage where he actually paced the group instead of wheelsucking. But yeah, normally in every other race than the Tour he's one of the most attacking riders. |

commentators on Eurosport said both Taaramae and Rolland have gone above him. Though they have been wrong before. |

Hopefully, you know that's not comparable.
Evans has relied on his time trial abilities until today. That might still pay off, but the situation looks a lot like 2008. Hopefully, he'll be punished for it again.

Guys, if Cav would come in too late that means the same for Farrar and Casar... and Gilbert, Voigt, Hagen, Hivert and Moncoutie btw
EDIT, might be quite outdated since Casar is 10th provisional.

The point being Cadel plays to his strengths. There 4/5 better climbers than him, but somehow he's always supposed to attack. Right.

I would say that if Schleck wasn't gonna win instead. Now it's go Cadel.

And that's why he's a wheelsucker.
Btw today it was clear that there weren't any better climbers than Cadel, except for the Schlecks maybe. |

andy still needs to gain time on evans tomorrow if he wants to win, probably frank (who needs even much more time) will go earlier and evans will be in very uncomfortable position. |

What should he do, then? If you want him to drop the Schlecks, Contador (in shape) et al, I'm sorry, but your eyes will never witness that. He knows he's the stronger TTer and and that's the card he plays. Now, if it was Schleck or Igor Antón doing that, that would be sad.

He did attack though! When Sanchez had his mechanical, Evans attacked. Sure, he didnt get away, but that was what started his long relay leading that group up the climb
