Tour De France 2011

Vino on the attack!

horatio, this is not a stage for the sprinters dude

I know, I was just wondering how worried HTC would be about Cav missing the cut-off.

(Only wondering because I saw footage of him being babysat by another HTC rider earlier).

He'll make the cutoff.

The babysitter is there to ensure he makes the cutoff.

four minutes back, they will be fine I think.

I know. Hence the question. They're obviously concerned, but not concerned enough to let one of their other riders push up the pace. Not being an expert, was just trying to get an idea of how worried they actually are/should be.

four minutes back, they will be fine I think.

Thor is gone.

Oh, man!

HA! Awesome.

Christ, Thor is in brilliant form.

Thor hangs on. Cheeky!

Thor, please be handing over your jersey today, thanks.

NO

What a finish

Quite a stage!

Waste of effort for Vino, Contador didn't look like he was at all comfortable when Cadel (never) attacked.

Cadel is really on form

I thought Cadel was going to get his second at that point.

Contator is playing mind games

Thor hangs on by 1 second!
amazing.

Good, nothing for Vino.
I have just realised that I have been to Super Besse. The cloud was so low you couldn't see anything.
