It's Cadel's to lose. With Astana being disqualified, the two best riders wont be in the competition. A shame really, Contador was tearing it up this season.

I feel bad for Cadel. He's going to have to win in the Alps by himself. Aside from Popovich, his lotto team is really crap. CSC, Columbia-High Road, and Valverde's team are all much stronger. Schleck is in a very good position. Cadel should be happy Ricco and Co left early because they were really kicking ass, even though they are cheaters.

I should have been here earlier. My believe in F.Schleck was really strong before the Tour even started :(

Frank's just lucky Astana isn't in the race. He's a major talent, don't get me wrong but he's yet to show a major attack and has relied on his team to pace him to the top. That said, he needs at least 45 secs on Evans before Saturday if he's to hold on.

I dont know whats going to happen. They had a meeting in the CSC camp on who is going to be captain, and i guess Sastre got a free role to attack if he wants. Riis might see Sastre stronger then Frank, but its all a gamble...

Only today will tell who CSC will be riding for.

Great team work by CSC today. Sastre crushed out the Alp and left Cadel Evans to make something happen. He waited too long and paid for it dearly.
