Time to start rooting for Cadel Evans, I think...

Anyone but Contador...PLEASE!

Cadel is my second pick for a top finish since Brad broke his collarbone.

Sadly I've missed a handful of stages now that I'm at the Burrow and am rehearsing most of the day everyday. By the time I get back to the Burrow (after rehearsals) I just want to chill out with Madame Cholet and not watch any sort of tv.

Cadel has a good team that can get him there, so perhaps we will see him at the finish!

Hope the rehearsing, etc., is going well.

I am not sure who I am actually rooting for right now. I like Cadel and Thor. I am for anyone other than Contador

GREAT stage yesterday. Perhaps Andy will pull through?

We should really see a lot of attacking on today's stage. I am really looking forward to it.

DapperButch · 07-21-2011, 08:48 PM

Now THAT was a stage!

I admit to tears in my eyes when I saw Voeckler's pained yet grateful face, crossing that line and holding onto yellow. He also

I am BEYOND thrilled for Andy. "No guts, no glory".

I really respect how hard Cadel pushed himself.

And Contador? Eh...just can't say I am feeling all that bad for him.

More fantastic racing today!

Where the hell is Incubus? I am talking to myself here!

Can't wait until tomorrow morning!

Hey there Dapper, I'm here. I really need to catch up with this weeks stages. Our gig is tomorrow so come Monday I'll be doing a big catch up.

Looks like the Schlecks have it sewn up though, unless Cadel puts in a supreme effort today and tomorrow and makes up the 57" he's behind but it's a bit of a tall order considering how in form both the Schlecks are.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Cav le Whingièr (he's young and should learn to keep his gob shut!) keeping hold of the green jersey comp. Thankfully Rojas was in the same group as Cav that came in over time yesterday.
