Pity for Vino, he got caught in the crossfire of the GC guys, I wonder how happy he is with Contador today.

+1

I would say Vinos not too happy, haha. I can't 100% blame Contador though. That climb suited him over Andy.

I've been very impressed with him this tour and the podium is definitely within reach for him.

Was a sick move from Contador, it was an aerial vie when the move happened but someone peeled off the front to the right of the road and Schleck followed him. But whoever that was peeled off bc he was beat as hell so it slowed Andy down, Contador saw this and made his move.

I dont think it was planned tbh, I think Contador just saw a window and knew he could snag 8-15 seconds at the expense of his teammates stage win. If Alberto didnt make themove Andy may have at some point, Schleck didnt look great on the climb but he sure did limit the damage.

Yea I did the same thing, they didnt say anything until AC was 30m Beyond. I yelled "ohhhh Contador's making a move". My girl looked up and said "who cares, this race lasts for a month". Lol at her obv.

Well done by Vinokourov, definitely deserved it after yesterday.
Cavendish was weird, he was nowhere to be seen after the climb and then suddenly he wins the sprint.

Holy **** these next four stages are nuts. I'll be glued to the TV. They go up one side of the Tourmalet on Tuesday and the other side to finish Thursday's stage. Sick.

Why is Ligget so slow to call when AC or Schleck make moves? This is the second time I saw it over 5 seconds before he even mentioned it. I know Im being a nit but its just odd.

AC made that move and it didnt seem to phase AS even a little, he stuck right on his wheel.
