Don't count out the Schlecks. Losing time the other day sure did hurt but it was the day after a rest; nothing to worry about. If Andy is strong enough to win then he will win...the Tour is long from over.

now his problem is that he not only has to get 3 mins or so on cadel before the TT...but he also needs 30 seconds or so on contador. not counting him out, but he is in a world of trouble.

I think contador is better at ITT than evans at the moment. he will also be in better physical condition following 2 days of intense climbing. IMO evans cracks bigtime either tomporrow or friday.

You have me confused Malamadre..
Cuntador is the climbing cheat and Cadel is TT purist...So what exactly is your point??..Given there is an Aussie bias let`s call a spade a spade..Unless you would prefer to call it a shovel...

finally andy grows some balls. i jumped on his line at the perfect time. not sure if he has enough to stay away, but it will be an awesome last hour of racing.

Good call on Andy but he was +1100 the day before; I would hardly say you jumped on him at the right time.
not sure where you got that line, but he was +780 the day before and +625 last night. i didn't hit it perfectly but i'll take second to perfect everytime. either way, it was a fantastic bet.

no plays tomorrow as i just want to enjoy it without the distraction of a bet. plus, i don't know who is going to recover well...might as well throw darts, imo. those that want action, take plus money in H2H and you should come out ahead.
i am predicting one of the schlecks to pick up a little time on cadel...around 25 seconds. i don't think the stage is long enough to do real damage but i may be wrong.
i rode the same exact route 2 years ago when i was at the Tour. it will be awesome to watch them ride the same roads and climb the same climbs i did.
should be an amazing stage...
