It's everyone vs. Astana. If you can do anything to make Astana work and tire them, you gotta do it. |

I haven't seen Zabriskie or Cancellara take any pulls. Sad, but predictable.
Too bad Andy Schleck isn't there. |

Evans will never stay away, never.
But atleast Saxo Bank should keep it cool, and not help Astana. |

Yeah I understand that but what if it goes all the way, And Evans gain time on Schleck then It didnt work so well out.. Because Saxo Bank still wants Andy to win

I don't think Saxo Bank will help Astana at all. |

Cancellara should go back if he doesn't like it. |

Cancellara says "time to work". Or what?
Edit: maybe not. He's saying "Let Evans kill himself", according to Rolf

If Riis is just going to sit back and wait for the Alps, he's a pussy and he's going to regret it. |

But how do you expect the Schlecks to do anything today. I'd rather he did something today aswell, but with the profile, no go.

When Evans went and the Astanas were all behind Schleck, it was the perfect time for Schleck to get a move on. He didn't go. |

Yes if Schleck had gone with Evans it would have been perfecty, and with Cancellara getting up to the group they would have been in a good position

Evans was reeled in easily and I doubt it would have been more difficult for Astana just with the addition of Andy in the break.

Martin, Schleck and Wiggins were in the original group. Had they went with Evans, Zabriskie and Cancellara would've had a reason to 'fire up the engines' - which would've been perfect.
That said, it's a huge risk, and Riis isn't a man for risks. He'd rather settle for 2nd than taking a risk

What they could do now though is having Cancellara out in front and if he can get over Col d'Agnes ahead of the favourites then Andy might attack there, Fabian will wait for him and motor him home. A bit like last year where they distanced Valverde. There's a long way from theory to actually doing it of course and I'm most likely way off
