Nah. I think he's gonna fight to see if he can get a podium finish at least. There are a lot of variables that need to happen for him to get it, but perhaps...

He's not coming back from that. Even if he's feeling really good, the top 10 contenders aren't going to let him get away far enough to make up that much time.
It was certainly sad to watch all the lower ranked riders go straight past him on the way to the summit.

Less than a week to go? He's really only got two stages where anything can be done about the time loss...
I think the only way Flandis can win now is if he borrows Harry Potter's cloak from Robbie McEwen and gets in on the first breakaway tomorrow... but I'm not sure if the cloak will foil the tracking device on the bike. Hmmm......

If he were able to do "something special" I'm behind him all the way but it just seems so unlikely at this point. He's had a pretty good race, nothing to be ashamed of, esp. with the hip thing and all.

hopefully his surgery goes well and he'll be back in the next year or two. I want him to win a tour more than anyone else.

I don't think he'll end up in yellow but wouldn't it be nice to see a podium placing?
