Tour De France 2011

Great to see a Sky win today with Hagen and Thomas riding so well. It was a bit to tough for Cav but he will be back soon and hopefully grab that Green jersey.

I think Schleck will have to up his game in his mind and his legs if he has any chance whatsoever against Contador, he may have a min and a bit more at the moment but he has nothing between the ears when it comes down to putting the opponent under pressure.
You can say many things about Contadope but the guy is a smart all out racer not only is he a slightly stronger rider but his attacks are perfectly timed and his kick is slightly sharper add to that that he will have pretty much any Spanish rider as back up when the shit hits the fans in the high mountains, he is a crafty sod he has been gifting stage wins in a couple of races this year and will expect a little favour here and there.

Can't see past Contadope for the win unfortunately. perm any Schleck from two and Cadel for the podium. Wiggo will top ten easily and looking at his recent form I fancy him for a top five.

Good tour so far apart from the commissars doing their best to screw it up for the sprinters.
 
Flattest stage of the tour today so expect to see Cav in the shake up, hopefully HTC can deliver him right on time. Schleck will start to move into contention in the next week for sure, that coverage of him and Contador last year where Schleck was staring at him was absolute fantastic.
 
Today does have a strange sprint 25K from the finish, it will be interesting to see who goes all out for the points there, almost certainly messing up their chances for a go at the stage win.

Looks like Wiggins is out of the tour a broken arm or collarbone how shit is that I didnt think he would of won the tour but be out before the main mountain stages is just disapointing for Team Sky.
