Depending on the results of today, the stage of tomorrow (contre le montre) can also be decisive.
How will it be on Le Col du Tourmalet, that's the question. Now the Marie-Blanque, the lowest of today's three pimples.
Absolutely. Schleck will need at least 2 minutes to beat Contador in the race against the clock.
BTW that race is not tomorrow, but saturday.

1964 - Anquetil: better than Bobet
Jacques Anquetil became the first rider to win Le Tour five times, the Belgian Thys and the Frenchman Bobet having triumphed three times apiece.

I remember this year very well. Watching together with my grandma on the B&W TV screen. My grandma was a great fan of Anquetil. Whenever she missed a stage all she asked was: "How did Anquetil do today?"

Today is D-Day in Le Tour. Last chance for Andy Schleck and the others to attack Contador. Or chance for Contador to take a real distance.
Last climb Col Du Tourmalet will probably be the decisive one.

I was gonna ask if any Tour rider had ever been "affected" by
a bystander..but I was more thinking of a drunken frenchman
stumbling into the road crashing a rider, not some pushy french sheep. Sacrebleu !!
I remember in the Athens Olympics a fkn idiot interupting the
marathon leader in the last mile of a 25 miles race..and ruined his race...
PS
if any drunken french people, or sheep, feel insulted by this post,
please feel free to insert "drunken American tourist" in that slot.

for everyone playing along at home ...
set those stationary bike elevation grades to 8 %
I know I have been riding along with the boys all morning.....
and by riding along I mean sitting on my fat butt**...getting worn
out watching these guys grind it out...dang. ( **which is better than my bare butt hanging out on TV, likethe one those spectators ... lmbo)
BIG RESPECT for Carlos Sastre for trying
was that the lone break away rider?
Isnt that kind of bike racing suicide to do it all alone, no wind break?
Has it ever worked?
