Looks remarkably comfortable sat behind Lancey-wance

Just attacked and put loads of space between him and the peleton. 22 seconds gained on Armstrong

BIG attack, whos the daddy now Lance?

Contador has a statement to make, and i think he is making it.

called it *hand up*

My feed went dead before he broke, just saw the reply – he went away at some pace!

Wiggins in 5!

what a ride by Wiggins, Contador blew everyone away. Armstrong looked OK though, he didn't chase. just let him go. He knows he'll get a chance to do the same in the next two weeks, whether he's strong enough to take it remains to be seen

BIG attack, whos the daddy now Lance?

7:1

Last week he was 4:1

By rights Armstrong shouldn't have chased his team leader (which he didn't), although I thought he was going to….be interesting now to see how Armstrong rides and whether he'll support Contador or not.

so does anyone really believe there's any contest there still?

For me the ride of today was Wiggins. OK, everyone knows he's one of the worlds best time triallers and pursuit riders but sat there on a bitch of a hill climb all the way with Armstrong, Contador, Kloden et al as even some of the big names got spat out the back.

Impressive stuff.

Does anyone genuinely think Lance is going to try and out do Contador for the win? Lance will play the tactics and double bluffs all the way, but he's riding for Contador not himself and today just showed that- no chase, no helping the group. It may have been to stop the other riders going with him but I don't think he's in it for the win.
