Read that on letour.fr, apparently the team director said that Baden requested it. Only a 2% difference, but it means he's thinking about doing something at the finish which is a good sign.

Doesn't seem to work for me TFF. (The reason I looked is that my tv audio is in German).

The sky looks quite threatening. If it starts raining, it will certainly make things interesting. The break is about to be caught...

Soler crashed! After some delay, he is up and riding again. Hope he is able to get back into the peloton.

Wow, Soler almost rode into the barrier instead of turning left! Wonder if he is disoriented somewhat.

Just file it away for the day when the put Bruyneel on. If you can take that without puking, you are a real man!

The fireworks have started!!! Nice.

Will Valverde nail it? Yes, he has!

First Schumacher attacked, then it looked like Kim Kirchen may get it, and then finaly Valverde surged forward. Nice finish!
