    TDF site says Roche is in the Menchov group. If so, great ride so far.

    Repeat of Ventoux last year, Saxo/Schleck played right in Contadors hands. Again

    Does Schleck really think he can get 1:30 to 2min in 4km? Looks like he doesn't have the legs or doens't have the nerve.

    Bit foolish from Contador. All he has to do is stay on Schleck's wheel. Unless he's trying to psyche him out or let on he has more left in the legs than he really does.

    They're just Basque flags, not necessarily ETA.

    1km to go. Contador's Tour I think. He'll take the stage win too if he doesn't decide to gift it to Schleck.

    Is it just me or is Contador being ridiculously mannerly since he attacked after the mechanical? Seems he's a little embarrassed looking back at it.

    Waiting for Sanchez, not jumping past Shleck for the stage...
