        Huge last night.

        Contador must have had a bag of goodies which gave him the lift he needed... his attacks threw a spanner in the works. Loved when AS asked Cadel to take his turn, Cadel gave him nothing.

        Going to be huge tonight, the Schleck's look stuffed, but who knows with the tour on the line. I think the margain is too much, but I am hoping Cadel can get the job done.... As a Dogs supporter I am sick of supporting non-winners.

            Those mechanical problems Evans had were telling but the way his team couldn't go with him meant he was once again the lone ranger for BMC through so much of the race.
            He's about 25 sec too far behind Andy Schleck for my liking despite Evans traditionally being strong in the time trial.

                I'm tipping Evans by a minute. Stirling effort to contain the others in the last 2 days, deserves the win
                If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

                        This.

                        The last two Tours Cadel's TT have been positively Dogs-like in its disappointment. He would have finished with Contador yesterday if his bike didn't bung up big time JUST at EXACTLY the wrong moment (again, Dogs like), and he would then have only 20 or so seconds to make up on the TT. Actually, if he was with Contador till the end they would both have continued attacking and probably would have finished even faster (they probably would have finished 1-2 if they stayed together).

                        I mean, he actually rode the best of everyone yesterday considering his bike stuffing up, once again dragging everyone up the mountain by himself.. I'm just worried that after two days of this crap he'll have nothing left in the tank.

                        The Schlecks are as bad as time-trialists come though at this level, so who knows. Lance used to always come over the top on the last TT, so here's hoping Cadel has timed his run perfectly too.

                                He has started well.

                                            Andy looks spent. Only a mechanical would get in Cadel's way now.

                                                    He's equal on road position!

                                                    Hearing that in his ear piece might break Schleck mentally.
