AS and AC cooperating in the break away!
With that much torque going thro the drive train, maybe the wheel got pulled sideways against the stay?
I don't think they run horizontal drop outs..
for those of us without visuals - where's evans..??
Peloton I think.
this kind of pace doesn't bode well for Cav, lets hope it has the same effect as yesterday.

You can still pull the wheel - I've done that before.
Dawg, try this - http://live.cyclingnews.com/
Really good live blogging of the race.
Evans is checking out sheep in the field . . .
Evans in a main group getting dragged back in by his team about a min back i think.
thank you - and cheers CF ill give that a try...

How? And where? Unless you snap the skewer or bend the stays or something..

Well, he is an Aussie.... 😉
Yossarian - Me too how sad if he goes out this late on,
How is TV gonna make it up d'Huez?
Sastre - 2008
Ah - fairy nuff, had thought it was a lot longer ago than that. Though checking back I realise why I hadn't thought of him, and could clarify the question to the last time the winner got awarded another major jersey in Paris, in which case the answer appears to be Hinault, and strangely enough he also won the points. Unless I've missed one, the last time the overall winner also got awarded the KOM in Paris was Mercx in 1970!
(wikipedia suggests Sastre was never actually awarded the jersey)
I think the French support will get TV up the Alp
tv has burnt out great riding to keep the yellow for so long

Not just the French. Anyone but a Spaniard, an Aussie or a Lumxemburger will be cheering him on loudly!

In an ambulance? Hats off to Voeckler, proper heroics. Deserves to win based on popularity and determination alone.
TV looking across the valley at the leaders - not ready to give up yet.
bigdawg - you asked that question on both forums ! lol
yep and you guys beat bikeradar which updates quicker than eurosport..!! I think we're all a bunch of closet roadies..!
"Only" 5km to top - can TV hang on at a small enough gap and catch on the down? Wouldn't put it past him taking a minute.
Edit: seem to have spoken too soon - looks like Tommy's best bet right now is to drop back to the group behind.

No, not with Contador descending with a group.
Also he's completely gone, he just hasn't realised it yet.
i want Voeckler to win le tour now. go fella 😀
awesome stage!
anyone here done la marmotte?? these pictures are taking me back with a shiver to my time in the pain cave going up those steep bits of gablib 'oooooooh' *shudders* 😀
alberto to recover on descent then SMASH it up the alp.
(or andy)
Ooh, that's steep! 😯
No, not with Contador descending with a group.
But he has to wait for the Luxembourg snail 😉
Singletrackworld trumps BikeRadar 😉
Cadel dishing out the pain.
Tommy sat up - has a couple of team-mates there though. Got to stand a chance if they get enough over the top interested in working together.
Basso suffering.
they'll work together he's now got a few team mate to help out
what time gap do you think AS is going to need for toms time trial
Cadel working heroically from what I can see (online stuff only, no TV), feel confident he will drive his group to catch the leaders, he's pushing them bloody hard! 😯
2mins + at least. He's got to buffer in a possible puncture or other mishap as well as his lack of TT prowess.
I reckon Andy needs 30s tomorrow, lets say 60s to be safe.
Sanchez must have read what I wrote and after KOM points 😉
Sammy tring to cross to AC & AS
No, no, no!
Come on Tommy - nearly at the top.
TV Gone
😥
TV finally goes out the back.
Huge Chapeau Tommy, finally a Frenchman who doesn't understand the word "surrender".
This is like a boxing match with four people in it 🙂
