They seem to do this every tour. How does their DS still have a job when he finds it tactically sound to chase down their own men?

Uh oh, Levi is in trouble.

Also, it's curious how tired these riders are. Much more tired than they've seemed in recent years. Strange.

Can you image the range of emotions Rogers felt today from dreaming of yellow to calling it quits?

T-Mobile have lost 3 today. Gerdemann, you might want to try and hang on to the yellow.

Turns out Burghardt didn't abandon. They mixed him up for Rogers.

Moreau is attacking....

Looks like no contender is going to make a move on the last climb.....

Good for Astana.
