contador is the champion at 4 to 1
he might be worth a shot?
but he is at 4to1
tough to pick 1...

looks like they won't make the podium if things continue like this.

Not a good day for Andy, that's for sure. Either way the worst I can do is lose $30. Hopefully Andy finds something and blows them away but if not I won't lose any sleep.

Team Leopard HAVE to bite the bullet and make Frank the leader of the team now. He lost time today only because he had to babysit his brother up that last cat climb and then down the descent.

Only 4 sec behind Evans in the overall. I still think he can hang with Evans and Contador in the Alps

Andy won't win I don't think nor Frank, but they still can't be written off.

Just remember this was the day after a rest day. Your body can do crazy things after a rest day. Come Thursday and Friday I won't be shocked to see Andy and Frank on Contador's wheel.

It's Schleck v Schleck now

Should be interesting to see how much Andy has left in the tank for Alpe d'huez

cadel is still the favorite in my opinion.  with the way that andy cracked in the last few km today does not fare well for tomorrow and saturday.  cadel should be able to make up the minute difference on the TT.  andy needs another minute to feel good about his chances, but i don't know how he has anything left.  he put all his eggs in one basket, but it was worth.

should be an exciting next 2 days.

glad i locked in andy to win last night at +625.  that was the perfect time to bet him.

Better get on Frank then because he is going to blow them all away tomorrow IMO. He did absolutely no work at all.

Already has won Alpe d'huez as well in 2006. No odds out yet but should start as the fav to win

i don't think frank can attack though b/c what if cadel goes with him and andy gets dropped. lots of complicated strategy awaits us.

I guess Andy was holding something back.

Voeckler is definitely worth a shot at 20:1 now.  if he finishes with the GC guys tomorrow, he will be in decent position to win this thing.  he can TT as good or better than both schlecks (see dauphine TT this year) and he might not lose more than 2 mins to cadel.  could make for an amazing final racing day.  i think i just talked myself into putting a bet on him.

cadel in driver's seat still, but everything can change tomorrow.

Cadel will likely be able pull away from Andy, during that final test.

For Andy to be safe, he needs to attack Cadel.

Self gratifying bump.

Post #2, the call of the Tour. When Rod speaks, everyone who knows at least listens. Congrats Cadel backers, I knew I was in trouble heading to today, Cadel won the Tour 2 days ago when he killed 2 minutes late.
