Remember the battle in the June Criterium du Dauphine when Cadel Evans

DR I found it quite interesting that Caedel blew himself off the pace so that he is not now a GC contender. Why did he do that? |

I don't think there's any chance of a Sky win tomorrow as Wiggins gets dragged along the course so that he can recover from what was quite a strain for him today. Perhaps he can sort out the problem and get back to his regular smooth style but I certainly have reservations about his ability after seeing that and perhaps a decision is made after tomorrow on whether Froome should take over as leader. i think if Nibali makes the break, Froome will have to chase and whatever comes of that will decide on who leads the team. |

I didn't mean to imply that he was faking it. Cadel was probably feeling good and Tejay probably told the DS, "I'm feeling great and could tow a fookin' tractor up these mountains." Unfortunately Cadel wasn't a tractor and he wasn't feeling _that_ good. We're witnessing a changing of the guard. Wiggins and Cadel could both end up behind their younger teammates in the GC. I say it's 50-50.

I'm hoping tomorrow will be vicious. There's blood in the water and we're going to need a bigger boat. R |

I say it's 50-50. Yes Froome and Tejay both look extremely strong in the mountains, the problem they and the other up and coming candidates have in the future is the imminent return to racing of the strongest climber of the modern era. Contador's destruction of the opposition on Mount Etna in last year's Giro was one of the most brutal acts of cycling hatchetery I've seen. -- |
