Don't get me wrong...I've been gripped by it. but for some it has lacked the raw excitement of the Contador/LA intrigue or Contador/Schleck and chaingate
As per Noodley's comment, there's a reason why we're not seeing that kind of racing from the GC contenders.
Having said that, the Voeckler vs Kessiakoff polka dot subplot is fine compensation. And assuming that Tejay is now officially off the leash, I would expect to see him have a dig on the final climb today, just to consolidate his position in the white jersey and maybe climb one or two places in GC - Zubeldia already looks in trouble and Van Den Broeck doesn't have enough of a time cushion to allow him to escape, especially as Tejay is a good time-trialler. Another possibility is Tejay, VDB and Nibali working together to attack Sky. Froome is going to have to do a lot of work on Wiggo's behalf again today. We saw him almost crack on the final climb yesterday, so his podium place might even be vulnerable.
