Chris Horner says on his blog: Our only problem came when Lance suffered a mechanical going into the finish, but two of our teammates were there to look after him, they were able to limit the time losses to the line to only 15 seconds.

Do you know for sure that he didn't have one? He also admitted that he couldn't hang on.

The cameras were showing him when he got dropped. He couldn't hold the pace of the group of 30. That's all.
This is typical Lance. Has someone come up with an excuse.
And it's conveniently ambiguous, too 
If something had actually happened, they'd never be so ambiguous.

Eddie Hagen got droped around the ultimo kilomtro, I think. Then you can say he is almost better than Lance  Eddie did a job in the pack today, and dropped "hard", did not fight to increase the timeloss. Lance had to helpers when he droped 200 m afterwords, after a day in the middle of the peloton.

EBH was dropped a long time before 1 km, perhaps with 3-4 km to go. |

Aparantly Hunter didn't fall today, it was Froome and robbie was just giving him his wheel
and Lance doesn't seem to be claiming it was a mechanical
Stage 4 done. Uphill finish. Legs weren't bad and made it almost the whole way. Came off a little at the top. Not bad for 1st big climb in..

Just to clarify, Edvald himself said that he could have stayed with the front group to the finish, and I believe him cause he looked very comfortable with 3-4kms to go.
But it was probably a smart decision to ease off, as he has quite a few tough days ahead of him, and it's his first grand tour. |

Pff. I think Lance will be much better when he comes to the tour!! Old or not he is the man!
PS: We all saw what you said about Soler too... But..... Hmmmm

he could be there with the big guys but not having the power to let someone behind like he did in his time. I think he will try to win on Mount Ventoux as I remember him saying that's the only place where he wanted to win but never did.
