Yeah, I see the Schlecks doing something tomorrow, but not because of Contador. Frank is only a little behind Lance, so I see that to be more of the reason. I hope Lance can stay on the podium, but if Frank and Andy decide to go, I'm just not sure he can go with them. Of course, Contador could just fuck him and Kloden over again, so Alberto could be just as big of a reason for neither one of them making it to the podium.

so cool.... I love the constant cat-and-mouse attacks from the top riders.

it's awesome how after 3 weeks of racing how the places work themselves out so smoothly and how the top 6 in the GC are clearly the top 6 strongest riders overall on the last stage.

I hope that Kloden catches up.

I hope Lance attacks the shit out of his group near the top. he can't let the first group get 2 minutes because Nibali will beat him. Even if Lance drags Frank up with him, oh well.

nice, there's Kloden for you. He and Armstrong will bring it back together, then they can go man-to-man again at the top

Pellizoti has been out of his saddle for what, 2-3km straight? that's nuts

Frank has to throw in some kind of attack now, to try to gap Wiggins. Hopefully Lance can go with him....

I'm surprised that all of this attacking isn't getting a reaction out of Wiggins. But then again Andy Schleck has been climbing like a mad man.

well, not as exciting as it could have been, but perfect defensive riding by Lance and Contador

That was good stuff. I'm just glad to see a finish on top of a mountain instead of those 40 mile runs after the climb. Looks like Lance will get that podium after all. Great job.

kinda anticlimactic, but still a good stage. Always love the mountaintop finish stages and it was nice to finally see contador look like he was suffering a bit.

I was a little bit surprised that Sastre got dropped like a bad happy right at the beginning. I figured he would be in there towards the end.

i love seeing that perfectly straight line of Astana guys on the front of the peleton going around Paris

i'm amazed you never see a crash at that hairpin at the Arc de Triumph.....


holy shit, that was incredible..... that last lap was awesome.
And it was Hincape that put HTC/Cavendish back in position ahead of Garmin before the straight-away
