  • ^^ I also think that it looked very desperate from Schlecks. I think Contador might do that. I reckon he is playing defensive game at the moment with a bit of bluffing keeping others at fairly safe distance and will launch a massive attack in the Alps leaving others with no stages to respond on.

    Contador looks happy just being able to stay with the other favourites, I can't see him having the legs to attack in the Alps, especially as it's rare for anyone's form to improve in the final week.

    I also can't see Voeckler winning it but he'll be growing in confidence as each day passes with him in yellow, but even if he stays with everyone in the remaining mountain stages his time trialling isn't good enough to hold off someone like Evans over 42 kms.

    It's an interesting race, no-one looks like they are yet prepared to gamble everything on a race winning attack, so none of the top 7 can be ruled out yet.
