Why should he? That's smart racing on his part. Contador is in a corner and he just needs to use what's available to him to his advantage.

I think the group is scared of Contador. I would be too.

THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING
:getsome:
I DIDNT SAY HE SHOULD GOSH JUST GIVING YOU SOME COLOR COMMENTARY FROM THAT STUPID CARTOON YOU GUYS WATCH UNLESS THEY SHOW YOU EVERY SINGLE DETAIL WHICH IM SURE THEY DONT
lol
I think you guys are confusing what Voekler is thinking as opposed to what the average French national is thinking, other than, "Where's my wine & cheese?"
Yeah, Contador is still who he is.
I like cartoons. Going to watch the Smurfs after this.

I think the average French national is in front of the TV rooting for TV to hang on.
Plus he is wearing high socks. I like high socks.
I was thinking about him out there alone trying to run down Andy and Contador in one final attempt to keep his jersey....that will probably be the talking point later....but who knows, im watching cartoons after all.
looks better on a 40" flat screen. just sayin'..
No doubt. I'm in front of a PC in NYC rooting the same. He and Basso are the only 2 that really leave it all out there every day.

damn, that is a nice looking piece of tuna.
Went back a bit further ..
2007 TDF no Andy
2008 TDF Evans over Andy by 1:57
2009 TDF Evans over Andy by 0:30
2010 TDF no Evans
Not a big enough sample size to draw on. I think it's be closer than those guys think it is, but they are the experts. I'll say 50-50. I must say Evans is looking strong though .. esp the way he came back strong in stage 18 after Andy took off. Advantage for Andy is that he will be getting time gaps as he's riding.
Questions:
1. Do they send them off in reverse order tomorrow?
2. Regardless of the time gap, is Sunday a neutral day? (ie, if Evans is up by 1 second, do they actually attack or is the game over tomorrow?)
3. Anyone know if the sprinters got docked points again today?

Quoting myself here for a reason.
Still, great work by Voeckler on this tour. He wasn't supposed to be anyone but a random stage winner and clung onto the wheels of Schleck Co., Evans, Sanchez, etc. The guy deserves all the praise in the world for riding as he has on this tour.
And ANDY SCHLECK! EXACTLY my sentiment from above. I knew he was holding back, and I knew that staying in touch with Frank all the time was holding them BOTH back. It was such a pathetic sight in the Pyrenees and I was almost ready to write them off... but Andy did just what I said. He rode his own race, left Frank back in the pack and took this Tour for himself.
Not to be outdone, Frank clawed his way back up to second, but on his own as well as little brother was already long gone. The two of them obviously work much better when they are not paying attention to one another at all.
I think Tommy V is about tapped out... not likely he can pinch Evans off the podium with only the TT left. But this year was definitely one of the best Tours I can remember watching.
Looks like Alberto needs to find some other kind of 'tainted' food to eat next year. How bout that,huh...

Just got back from lunch, this inspired me to eat a Turkey club panini with bacon, russian dressing and melted swiss. I also had fries with mustard, no ketchup that stuff will kill you. Man I am stuffed but if that is what it takes to be a winner I'm up for it.
