long stage
The riders had an early wake-up call this morning, with the start set for 10:49. Well, when you are facing all those climbs and 204 km, you have to get an early start. Two riders decided to sleep in and not take to their bikes this morning: Enrico Franzoi (Liquigas) and the race’s oldest rider, Inigo Cuesta (Cervelo), who is 39 years old. Steven Cozza of Team Garmin became the third member of the US-based team to give up the race when he dropped out on the first climb.
Quick Step and Astana lead the chase
As the peloton moves close to the last climb, the pack is led by riders from the Astana and Quick Step teams.

tony martin will finish the day with the polkydot jersey
who’d a thunk it?
lots of points for voeckler today too.
Good morning. Settling in at the laptop to work
but will be checking in on the race frequently. I’ve also got the plumber coming this morning and there’s a Doctor Who marathon on TV. Ah, the life of a multi-tasker. More coffee, anyone?
He has no charisma--Thomas Dekker, on Cadel Evans
can't you just move this there?

and any remaining hopes I had that he might do something in this race
He has no charisma--Thomas Dekker, on Cadel Evans
why did he quit?
i’m glad i’ve have some other riders in this race doing well. Lotto is really tanking so far this season…
You may very well think that; I couldn't possibly comment.
i'm starting to think...
he might have been a better VDS bet…

Disrespect to Quickstep
All the peloton knows that Questep and Chavanel are dead men walking in this stage race.
CN
Sylvain Chavanel (Quick Step) was able to to hold on to the leader’s jersey despite finishing in the second chase group yesterday. “I won’t give up, but I shouldn’t daydream,” he said. “Above all, I’d like to win another stage.”
You may very well think that; I couldn't possibly comment.
I've managed to get audio today-am in the office alone (and on lunch!)
The audio of France Eurosport works but I can’t get any picture!
gap 5.35

Can you grab me one too? I can't wake up this morning.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Super strong, with a sweet-n-low. :-)
Grazie!
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Weird
Maggie talking about one more big climb still to go but… you sure don’t see one on the course profile or any description of the stage. Nothing classified.
Ha ha... my money is on him then today.
That was C’s gap yesterday. :-)
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
try again
well, not sure why but posting a link isn’t working for me.

My gues is that the break won't stay away
Or if it does the gap goes way down to less than a minute.
Comment from Gallopin
Contador a bit pissed with misin the Rabo break the other day
For those with more than one computer handy
or a helluva lot of bandwidth, TA is now live on RAI
He has no charisma--Thomas Dekker, on Cadel Evans
Personally
I can’t wait to talk about him all year long. And about his VDS status. Over and over.

from the ticker...
Oddly enough, Jeremy Roy finished 150th and last in yesterday’s stage, 11:09 behind Christian Vandevelde. “I decided to save strength for tomorrow,” he said on his website.
You may very well think that; I couldn't possibly comment.
Yeah, I say that after every race
Raced with the pros in the Essor Basque a few weeks ago…used the same excuse
I lost comme meme
