I still don't get why gesink didn't leave the race.wouldn't it be better for him to focus on the vuelta. Or is his condition improving?

I think he wants to win in the Alpe. I'm not sure if his back pain is improving enough to make it possible, though.

Other then that it would be a huge let down to his team that gave everything for him.

Interestingly enough with Bonnet falling for the time limit, we are now up to 28 riders out of the race. That is as many as all of last years Tour

Booring week, not really. It was the Beille stage that was booring when it should have been the fall of Contador and a lot of attacks.... Instead they looked at each other and when they attacked, they did the weakest attacks ever. Voeckler managed to sit with them for crying out loud.

It seems like there are so many fighting for the GC that they won't take any chances. The ride up to Beille gave me a good feeling. I think the peloton is the cleanest one since the sport started. |

Voeckler sitting with them up Beille... Hmm.. Somethings not right Not saying that he is doped, far from it. Just saying that the stage was awfull

I bet my Pro Cycling Manager that he isnt doped What a let down for french cycling if he did and got caught. Would ruin the whole tour! |

If the Schlecks would be smart enough to have Fränk sacrifisie himself for Andy, then maybe Andy could win the Tour.
But no... they'll never do that. Let Fränk make incredible pace until he blows...that would rip the race apart. |

They will never do that until he realise that he could never win it. Andy is better then him in both the mountains and on time trial, as far as i know. And somebody should tell him that

That's why I don't like him. He never attacks.
