Great race...is it me or does T-Mobile need to learn when to try to attack. Their timing always seesm to suck. The attack to early with tht wrong guys or just fail to do anything adn people go. They did it again today if they would have let AG2R control teh race adn keep theri men fresh MAYBE they woudl have done something on the last climb.
I like Rasmussen...smart rider adn knows when to go out on an attack. Vouckler sure showed why he will never be a treat. He doesnt understand when you cant make a jump to the leaders. That attack to take Rasmussens's KoM points was foolish and he paid dearly. |

Jeeeuh, Landis can't follow!
EDIT: grrr, stupid T-mobiles. Why are they letting that guy without a team win the tour?

I bet you there are about 3 or 5 teams kicking themselves for not helping real in Peiro's breakaway. Lanids looked big time cracked.
I heard an intersting comment on Tv...this tour is so interesting/balanced because all the drug users are scared to use and the big time users are not in the tour. Makes you wonder. |

For how many years have T-mobile done this now?? Having 3 to 6 riders in the lead group all blow themselves to pices and not profit themselves. Okay, Kloden got a good result but that was only because thye had the luck that Landis sucked all by himself! This camouflaged their realy rotten tactic!

A very interesting stage this was, what an awesome race by Rasmussen, he really deserves the king of the mountain jersey for sure.
Too bad Menchov faltered in the end or Rabo would have had a superb day... now they probably won't make it to the podium in Paris.

Very exciting stage and Tour as a whole indeed. Just a couple of days from Les Champs Elysees and imo impossible to tell who is going to win! How different from most Tours in the past couple of decades.
