Honchar won't be able to keep up in the mountains. Perhaps Landis can show what he's worth?

That Honchar won was not that surprising, he was TT world champion iirc.
This time, the drivers from T-Mobile were allowed to drive for themselves, maybe that's why they have a good result.

Landis already gave an excuse for not winning the Tour, he needs a new hip...

Would be very classy with his rotten hip. I really enjoyed McEwan (speaks English like an Oz and Dutch like a Flamand btw) and Freire but I'm really looking forward to the upcoming two stages where imo the boys will be seperated from the men.

Indeed, until now I've just seen 20 second flashes on the news, but tonight I might actually try to see the summary. Mountain stages are more fun to watch...

Tomorrow is the day.

Yes, today we only may learn who will NOT win the Tour.

Naturally. But tomorrow isn't going to tell us who will win the Tour either. After today and tomorrow the list of real candidates will be trimmed down to about 4 or 5, but the difference will be made in the Alps...

Wow. Who expected Rambobank to dominate this stage? Great show, rightful winner.

Darkness · 13-07-2006, 17:37

Menchov

Nice signature Shabba...

Kingreno · 13-07-2006, 20:34

Boogerd and Rasmussen were dominating. Menchov needs to keep up in the remaining weeks though...it's a lot harder if you are suddenly a big favourite.
