Bruyneel REALLY screwed up this tactically
No doubt Astana fanboys will soon arrive and start saying Bruyneel did brilliantly. |

Marco makes a very good point: can you imagine this happening on a radio-less stage? |

If Evans got the slightest bit of help they could make a lot out of that break. |

Why did no of the other favourites go with him? Martin? Schleck? |

How is the descent from the top? If it is technical then I think that Evans can gain some time... |

Heh, Rolf Sørensen comparing this attempt to what Floyd Landis did in 2006, like nothing happened after that particular stage...
It's like he doesn't even read the doping news. |

Why did Astana send Popovych and Paulinho into the chase group?  |

They must be setting up for a 4 or 5 man team attack on the last mountain of the stage. |

It means very little of course, but Wiggins is now the yellow jersey "on the road." |

I think Paulinho followed Uran.

You do realize that team attacks only happen on PCM, right? 
Evans doesn't have much of a chance of staying away |

Well, having Zabriskie on the flat parts isn't a bad thing.
Oh well, we'll see. |

Turns out Cancellara's double stop yesterday that made him have to chase hard....was because he refused to ride in the yellow jersey with a non-yellow wheel on the bike.
That's called being conceited |
