So the Maillot Jaune leads our Argyle's Tyler Farrar to win the stage.. That is awsome, considering that Thor Hushovd could and has won stages .. Great finish today

It was a fantastic finish today. As long as saxo bank stays back i am happy Excellent timing by garvin cervelo to break up HTC at the end.

I like how trek is sitting so far

1 Thor Hushovd (Nor) Team Garmin-Cervelo 9:46:46
2 David Millar (GBr) Team Garmin-Cervelo
3 Cadel Evans (Aus) BMC Racing Team 0:00:01
4 Geraint Thomas (GBr) Sky Procycling 0:00:04
5 Linus Gerdemann (Ger) Leopard Trek
6 Edvald Boasson Hagen (Nor) Sky Procycling
7 Fränk Schleck (Lux) Leopard Trek
8 Andy Schleck (Lux) Leopard Trek
9 Jakob Fuglsang (Den) Leopard Trek
10 Bradley Wiggins (GBr) Sky Procycling
11 Manuel Quinziato (Ita) BMC Racing Team
12 Fabian Cancellara (Swi) Leopard Trek

And the all important:

8 Andy Schleck (Lux) Leopard Trek 0:00:04
69 Alberto Contador Velasco (Spa) Saxo Bank Sungard 0:01:42

Huge WIN for Andy Schleck today in the tour de france! Man turned it all all around and is now only 15 seconds behind the french leader! Go Leopard Trek!

It was certainly exciting. I still like Voeckler. He rides like he wants to win the Tour. With the Schleck brothers and Contador, they were afraid to attack. I think Contador is out for sure unless he can gain, what?, 4 minutes from the tomorrow's mountain stage AND the individual time trial. Here is my predication. Voeckler would not lose much time tomorrow since there are other riders want to make to the podium finish. These riders will set the pace for Voeckler. The race will come down to the individual time trial...

Riveting. Ive seen the highlights and dying to get home to watch the replay! Everyone in this tour has been afraid to attack. I think Contador might have an outside chance but he needs to take over tomorrow. He is a great at TT but looking back Andy didnt lose much time to him there in previous years. If Contador doesnt have an Andy performance tomorrow he is finished. Can Voeckler hold out tomorrow? Im not sure. He has been slowing loosing time with the back breaker occurring today with Andy FINALLY! Attacking. Lets not forget about Evans. He is still there lurking and so if Frank. Im excited man!

Contador was hurting today. I doubt that he could do much tomorrow. You have to a time trial specialist (Lance, Cancedera, and Ullrich the likes) to gain over 2 minutes over your rivals in the tour.

I think contador is off his drugs

All is good with the World.. Cadel Evans wins without winning a stage just missed taking the ITT and the Argyle win the Team Prize!

.. and Omar your boys are 2nd and 3rd Not too bad

Yup im torn in how i feel. A big part of me is very disappointed in Andys showing today. He is not the best TT rider but this was miserable. Used up too much energy in the pervious two stages to claim yellow. Cadel is a class act. Im happy for him. He looked poised and effecient. Its his to lose now.

And contador is behind them all

No, Andy has to attack in order to gain time back from Voeckler. He should have tried to gain some time back earlier in the previous mountain stages. The day before the ITT, he may not have to work so hard. BTW, Andy lost some times in the ITT because he was descending not in the tuck position.
