Stage 20 *Spoiler*

[ComedyPilot]

I sort of meant Wiggy, LA, Bertie and the Saxo's all together.

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Yeah, sorry, I know what you meant. And Cav finally drops off the yellow jersey group... it was amazing he was up there in the first place...

 

[Flying_Monkey]

And bye, bye lead group - they are attacking each other, and they will be caught sooner rather than later.

14kmh side wind from the left.

 

[ComedyPilot]

Now 17kmh side/head wind from left.

Mind you there are 3 reasonable climbers working together at the front of the field and they are keeping the 3.20ish lead.

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Huge numbers of people, even on the lower slopes. Amazing.

 

[ComedyPilot]

15k to go. Less than 10 miles.

Do you think that c 3' 20" will last when the "heads of state" light the blue touch paper though?

Makes Puffball crowds look like a few blokes in a park really.

No. The Schlecks will go for it. Astana will have to defend, and Garmin will pick up the pieces (hopefully)

Saxo pulling on the front with Sorenson (sp)

The only problem for Wiggo is that he doesn't have the same level of supporting team of Astana and Saxo Bank. Now Millar has gone after burying himself for the first few km of the climb, he only has Van de Velde...

I hope he can sit in there and use the others.

It's getting twitchy as the team mates fall away
