Awesome ride by Vino. Respekt!

Contador looked good, and afterwards said that he was being cautious! Today should be interesting. Everyone has to attack, apart from Evans.

Rassmussen has to attack. With another TT of similar length left, this time pancake flat, there's no way he can keep the 1 minute gap to Evans, let alone anyone else.
Really hoping that Evans has a bad day in the next 3 days, I laid the sh1t out of him on BetFair at the start of the Tour.
Saying that, I might go and lay him a bit more :0)
Big up to Vinokourov, and a great ride by Wiggins in what looked like wetter conditions (apart from the start apparently).
Anyone see the motorbike wipe out after 30 yards?? Brilliant!

Rasmussen has to attack. The last TT is flat 55k. He lost over minute to Evans yesterday. You can therefore expect him to lose at least a minute 45 to Evans in that. Evans is currently 1 min behind on GC. Therefore all Evans has to do is follow Rasmussen and wait for the TT.
Rasmussen has to attack Evans and take 2 if not 3 minutes.

ah one more time trial isn't it a team time trial or something ?
in that case consider my post above edited !!
rassmussen will pull out a 3-4 min gap on one of the climbs coming up and swan all the way to paris on a fluffy yellow cloud
don't tell me cadel can climb anywhere near as well as rassmussen king of the mountains current holder and winner this year barring something funny happening -

Well, it's all wide open.
With everyone having to attack, who knows what is going to happen? For sure what they did yesterday will have taken it out of them.
Everyone's writing off Moreau, and he will want to do something, and as he is so far down, it's possible that he will be allowed to go on a long one today.
Astana should let Kloden go on the attack today. The smart move would be to get him to attack at the bottom of the final climb, and then have Vino wait for the counter.
Likewise Disco - Leipheimer goes for a long one, then Contador waits for the counter.

I don't think Rassmussen can get away - he's a marked man, and there are plenty of riders in contention who could easily sit on his wheel if he trys to jump them with his style of climbing.
Contador/(Klöden)/Sastre on the other hand...
I want a yellow jersey, they make you go real fast
congrats to rassmussen
thin is the new fat
