Mighty Hiker: "bummer about Hesjedal."
So true! I was really pulling for him. I believe he was a top 10 last tour. His future is a bright one.
Danielson is a good TT rider. IMO he could move up to 7th in the GC. All of the other teams in the TDF will be envious of Garmin Cervelo's needle work as they sew up the team compettition tomorrow.
Gunkie: "Does Cadel have the juice to pull back 57" in the ITT?"
IMO, Yes he does. He's a far superior TT rider then Andy, but 57" is a squeeker. This is going to be an awesome race.
Dee ee: "It will be close."
Are you on the edge of your seat yet? I'm so puckered, after the TT they'll have to surgically remove my chair. :o
GO CADEL!!!
P.S. Hey Alberto....I have removed my thumb from my nose, just long enough to raise my pint of porter in your general direction for popping that jackass.

Sure, it's all pharmaceuticals, but still it's nice to see a photo finish of a long race. I think Evans is favored at this point to win the tour, but supposing he rides fast it will be great to see Andy go for the win, when he knows exactly how fast he has to go.

There's talk in Australia that Evan's win will be celebrated with a National Holiday.
If we did that here, we'd have at least two weeks of time off accumulated already.
One of the best Tours in quite a while.

Awesome Cadel, he shredded the tt course.
The Schlecks were gracious in their defeat. I knew there would be no weeping.
It was a great race this year.

chapeau to all the tour riders for making this the most enjoyable tour I have seen, though Lemond's 8 second win was pretty awesome, but that was mainly the last day.

Got up at 5 this morning to watch this event.....riveting till the end. One of the best tours I can remember, been watching them since the mid 70's. Was sad to see Andy loose the yellow, but Cadel pushed race every time it was critical and was involved everyday. Great win. Got out some OLD Winning magazines to look back on some of the old tours.
Peace

I disagree...Cadel was the best rider in the Tour this year. Great race. Contador ate a big piece of humble pie.

The Bro’s had a great tour it was Andy’s to win or lose. Just ran out of legs, but sill won the hardest stage. He will win next year I predict .

Congrats to Cadel Evans!
However, I find Cadel's voice to be an Australian version of Ms. Doubtfire.
