Hamm, I would have said Bossan Hagen would be their best bet, but he had a hard ride yesterday, no I think they are pretty knackered and as a new team they have done well in their first tour, year in fact. maybe Flecha if he gets into the right move, but today is for the sprinters I think.
I heard on 5live that sky take their own beds with them!!

well a bit of a disappointment yesterday in the sense that I thought Schleck would have been able to get away but fair play Contador just too strong.
Today Cav, tomorrow I think Contador and Sunday Cav again.

Agree Boassan Hagen is the best bet, but he'll just hold on for the sprint I think after yesterdays break attempt. He's done pretty well in the sprints so far considering he's not really an out and out sprinter.
Thomas may go for it, but I think he'll be wanting to do a good TT tomorrow.
Cummings? Barry?

Tomorrow I think Cancellara followed by Wiggins. I read Wiggins interview where he agonised over whether to finish top 20, or whether to go for TT. He was 20 odd minutes behind Schleck yesterday, so I'm guessing he opted for the TT :-). I think Contador/Schleck will be closer than people think now.

I've been watching the tourmalet on i-player and it was a cracking ride by andy, but he should have tried to go past and attack contador when he attack, it would have been the only way, says I sitting at home..., but it would have been the only way. Andy missed Frank badly.
lot of tired legs there...
and is Bernard Hinault doing his Fred Dibnah impressions on the podium... 'Aye, e's a gran' lad is tha' andy.'

I've got a sneaky feeling Alberto might get the stage win in the TT. He won the week 3 TT last year and wants a stage win before the end. Cancellara might be a bit knackered after his efforts yesterday! Did you see him virtually stop at the side after his stint at the fron of the Saxobank train....team player for sure

I dare say that Contador put in a lot of effort going up the Tourmalet too though TD

Pilot - I was wondering whether Schleck struggled to get back on and realised he couldn't do it at that point. Looked to me like he was almost dropped at that point, but i've only seen a short youtube video and haven't seen full highlights. Both said in their interviews that the sole purpose of Contador's attack was to show Schleck he had good legs.
