Andy attacks, Cadel covers then bro waits for Bro. Frank attacks Cadel covers, bro-lo el cunado. They will continue to take time off Cadel and whoever has the yellow jersey in the ITT always seems to ride 3 foot taller so don't expect to get time back that late in the game. He would have learnt that lesson in 08 with Sastre.
Cadel has to be in front or very very close to coming out of the mountains. The only way he can do this is if Cheatador and Basso help him attack the Schlecks but Cheatador doesn't look like he has been on the same 'program' this year, which is understandable given the attention he would have received. Injuries my a$$!
The brothers from Luxembourg are phenomenal, it is in their blood, I have no doubt they will get the job done this year after chaingate last year.
i am quietly confident of a basso attack
He's looking strong, Contador showed a bit too.
Is Andy Schleck gonski, or lying doggo for a while??
Sammy Sanchez could be the smokey, not that far down the standings. NFI how good he time trials though.
Voekler still has to be caught, but Cadel would have to be fav to win now :)
None of the others are capable of doing so EVERY day.
hope cadel can hold up on stage 18 & 19 with the hill top finishes and not give contador anymore than 30secs start by the ITT and i reckon hes home. think having voeckler in yellow and taking pressure off cadel has been awesome for him.
andy cant win he wouldnt be lying low and give away 1min to contador before the alps. he just couldnt go. leopard trek to be on the front the next few stages now and andy only choice but to work for frank now.
Couldn't believe it when I was watching it - they just weren't interested in chasing at all
Andy & Frank won't be catching him in the TT
Fireworks over the next few nights.
Best night yet !!!
althought last year andy beat voeckler by sometihng over 3mins i think in the ITT (distance less this year) so couldnt say for certain andy wouldnt catch him. Franks another story though but hes not as far back as andy atm.
anyone keen to have a crack at the podium
cadel/contador/sanchez for mine.
F.Schleck
Voekler
Evans
A.Schleck
Cheatador
Made me miss a lot of the good stuff last night...............by the time it came on I'd forgotten !!!
Going to struggle tomorrow as well now that Contadors tour is shot and won't help shut down the dual attacks.
what a ride from andy last night. maybe he was waiting for that stage.
prob franks night to attack tonight but lets hope cadel can stay with him. hes almost home.
How / why did Cadel let him ride away from him on the decent ???
No excuses there.
Probably won't even bother trying tonight.
Only a short stage, so Cadel should be able to match any attacks (bar what last night took out of him)
A Cat 1 and 2 HC's. Cadel should take the fight up to them and attack going up the Col du Galibier. Next 56k's is 90% downhill he could put a gap on them and hope to hang on for the last 15km HC climb.
May need to speak to Voekler or Basso about an alliance, but I reckon his team could almost help get him to the foot of the Alpe D'Huez.
