1:Fact. Everyone on The Hub is an armchair expert.
2:Fact. The Shlecks did ride like pansies over the previous few days.
3:Fact. Andy rode like a champ yesterday and has all his fans back again.

1. Very true.
2. Statement confirmed.
3.Very true.

A couple of remarks and questions from my side:

1) The " sisters Scleck " has certainly silenced a couple of critics yesterday - What a ride by Andy - I was stuck to the TV and the PVR recording is going to stay there for a while !

2) I do not understand why Frank did not attack with one to two km to go- He could have put some serious time into Cadel and Voeckler and could have been in yellow.

3)Where were the domestiques of Cadel and AC- They were absolutely useless and both of them were virtually alone !

4)It is going to be a thrilling climb today and one has to wonder if Andy can recover from that effort. Will he try/ or be strong enough to put some more time into Cadel before the time trial ?

Vive le Tour!

I suspect Frank did not attack for fear of dragging someone with him, and more importantly, closer to Andy's time...

He could have just gone hard and if anybody could follow him - sat up ?
Maybe he was just not feeling that good anway .

Maybe they just played the "broken wing" card for the whole season so long. If they don't look like a threat then everybody will stop training to beat them. Meanwhile back at band camp....

Well that is me silenced, Andy did a great job yesterday and I must say that Frank looked like he had an easy day in the saddle yesterday. Berto, my favourite for the tour, looked like a broken man yesterday.

BUT today is another hard day and I wonder who has the most left in the tank.
