Has coddling tendencies.
The restlessness and rancor in here is obviously saying one thing: Bring on the mountains.

Watching the replays of the now multiple blown leads by Garmin has been fascinating. Today's inside move around the last bend by HTC was a thing of beauty. Must have been frustrating for Thor who was just another in the mix trying to avoid being boxed in or trapped by the uneven side barrier.

"Pardon the Interruption" (ESPN) had the fight on and they graded it in the "A's" Saying that after riding a bike for over 4hrs and having the energy to still fight afterward was pretty amazing.

Chavanel - a lot of matches burned up today. Smart? Time will tell.

One day in yellow>stage win.
Predictions for tomorrow? Of the contenders I see a group containing Contador, Evans, Schleck and Basso then a time gap of 30+ to Wiggins, Armstrong, Rogers. Kreuziger starts to consolidate his bid for the White Jersey.

i dont see armstrong losing time this yet. he has shown that he can match or even go a little better then contador right now. only reason he lost time was due to the flat. if he does start to show weakness it will be later. my thoughts on it.

out walking the earth
Did he really have a flat? I know a few guys who get flats like that when they get dropped.

Also prevents KOM rivals from gaining on Pineau. I predict Pineau to go out on the attack again if he has anything left in his legs. He won't expect to stay away until the end, but just try to sweep up as many points as possible. If Gesink's arm is better, perhaps he will attack too, and go for the stage win.
I expect to see an elite group finishing relatively close together containing Contador, Armstrong, Schleck, Evans, Basso, Wiggins, Rogers, and a few others. I think they'll test each other, getting rid of everyone's helpers, but I'm not sure it'll shatter appart completely.
