Early TV start for me. I'm at home too. #2 child at birthday bash in a theme park all day. Should have some peace & quiet, maybe a little nagging from Deb. This should be a sit down & savour stage.

I envy that.  I'll be at work... but tracking on the computer.  Argh. I just checked my schedule for tomorrow and I have a 10-11, an 11-1, and a 1:30-3. 

Guess I'll be here in the beginning and then drop-off but I'll double-back to pick-up on the learning from Cat, the cheekyness from Mah-tin and the discussion of who you guys are going to root for now that Jens and Boonen are out.  There go your favorites! 

Side note, Frank Schleck tweeted that Jens is going to be okay.  He's hurting bad, but he'll live.  That was some crash!

15 riders away. 1st summit Cormet de Roseland ~ Pellizotti, Casar,.... Roads are wet now.

Very careful descending.

Limpet has changed his goals. Not feeling on top form. Seems a Stage win is all he can hope for.

Four EUS riders in front group

Hushovd trailing off back of front group at start of second climb. Must be going for the sprint points which are on offer at the bottom once over it.

Sorry, Thor at the FRONT!.

Showing Cav he can do what Cav can't, climb. Go get the points Thor.

Good morning / afternoon, evening, TDF derelicts! 

Nothing like a little breakfast and seeing the green jersey go over the climb first!  Smart move, though, nip a few sprint points and Thor won't have to worry much about the Champs...

Nice descent, that 90 degree turn should be interesting with the group, I agree with P&P, I wouldn't be standing there at the apex of the turn.

I feel bad for Cadel.  They interviewed him on VS yesterday and he seemed kind of bummed, he said he was pretty far off GC contention but they still wouldn't let him go.
