Same mechanic that won him the Giro? He should have a job for life.

This is why P&P are good.  I was just thinking "I wonder if Thor can hold everyone off to win?"  And they went right-into it.  AMAZING. 

I was thinking in the shower though and I had an epiphany (not that type of epiphany Martin) and I thought.  P&P need a lady side-kick.  Maybe Cat should head-out to work for Versus in the tour.  A woman announcer?  Just a thought.

Slipstream looks good and especially Wiggins. He looks like he is doing no work at all.... this could be an interesting stage.

Eurosport used to have Emma Davis who lived a short distance from me. She was good.

I can't believe the problems being caused on a Cat 2 climb. The last two climbs will be very interesting - if anyone is left.

Oh no. Kenny Van Hummel's out of race. This is not turning out to be a good Stage for me. New Lanterne Rogue tonight then. Seems there was a crash at the back on the last descent.

[noob question]

Is Lance is some special jersey? TV showed the jersey holders and his name scrolled by but it look like Astana colors. Then when they show what jerseys are in the peloton they show that same white and light blue jersey.

How good is Thor traveling!?! Makes you appreciate how good Eddy Merckx was as a rider. Winning the Yellow, Green and Polka Dot in one Tour.

No, just the Astana Jersey.  They've done that the whole tour.  Has the announcement come-out yet?

You can tell Lance by his black helmet, the only one not wearing a team coloured one. Also he's behind Contador

That's a new development.  He was always in-front of the wheel-sucker...

I lost my darn feed.  Gonna have to switch to the letour.fr tracker.  Let me know if anything exciting comes-up.  I assume the Peloton includes all the contenders?

Yep!

This is interesting. Menchov crawled back into the break, he's not a GC threat, so he may well win.

Thor gets max points and sits up, finishes 30 min behind the yellow jersey. He'll  need that rest, and a change of shorts after that power-slide on the previous descent.

Astana are driving the bunch, I can only believe they're actually working WITH Saxo to dislodge Wiggo. They don't have to worry about the Schlecks in the TT.

Unbelievable. Actually, pretty believable. When someone rides orders of magnitude better than they ever have, there's a reason. I pray Wiggo's not fitting into that mould.
