Cobralicious! That lad is a beauty to watch and he's merciless...
Certainly is. The question is whether he went for it today because the others didn't want to chase and if he has put in too much effort ahead of the big day tomorrow.
Cav seemed to get through OK. Still smiling at the end after 20k downhill recovery. I doubt he'll be smiling at the finish tomorrow.
As they say, tomorrow is another day. Cadel to limit losses (but to lose time.) Kirchen to drop off the top. Valverde in Yellow, or even periero?
CSC to make a big move? Which Schleck will it be? or even Sastre?
Millar to stick with the front group over Tourmalet, then to drop time climbing Hautacam when the big attacks go (or to ride pace for Vandervelde) . (frees him up to go for stage wins later if he is no longer a GC contender).
