How can Voeckler not have one single weak day...Day for day attacking and attacking and never feel tired and beating lots of good climbers, although they have been in less breakaways and don`t attack for every KoM. |

Did you miss the first week?  This last week he's been dominant, but before that he was nowhere.

Kessiakoff really needs to fix his allergy problems, really want to know what he could do in the spring season. |

Azanza or Stortoni will pull away up the final climb and win  |

I know, but even that he is able to be that offensive in a 2nd and 3rd week of the Tour is surprising.
While others seem to suffer a lot, he seems to be like on the first day. |

"Europcar Doping Thread" needed, perhaps? We saw him last year, Tommy is such a fighter, he does what he wants.

Tommy is just proud to race in front of his adoring French public, hence the will to race and fight all the time |

Liqui setting it up for Nibali
surely he'd need about 2-3 mins ahead of that last TT to stay ahead of Froome? |

Liquigas have to stop Sky from riding on the front and controlling the pace if they want to do something on the GC today  |

When did Cavendish make it back to the main field? How could he do that with Liquigas pacing the Wiggins group all the way from the top of Menté?

Have a quick look at his jersey...

I never thought I'd be happy to see Richie crash but one less henchman means one less man to chase.
