Did you know that today is apparently the 5th anniversary of Landis' infamous, achem, whisky and beer charged ride. I was in Berlin on that day, remarking to my friend that I thought it was an incredible ride... just HOW incredible, I didn't fully realise at the time.

Yep, I've misjudged this climb. It's short but it is tester. 1km of 11% the commentators have just said. I knew it was short but I didn't really it was something out of the Belgian classics! A veritable mur!

Contador has a go. Drops no-one!

EBH first over the top, 8km to go... can he keep the gap on the descent? Chavanel following is superb descender.

Contador goes again. Then Schleck Snr.

This is not a simple descent... just as I type that... there's an off

This is a nasty descent, for different reasons to yesterday. Tight, narrow and shaded. Take it easy guys!

Oh dear lord! That could have been nasty! Hivery completely misjudges a bend and rides up someone's driveway!! :laugh:

Chapeau sir! A truly strong ride!

Voekler makes the same mistake on that same bend! He must have lost time!

Contador away with Sanchew, no Evans or Schlecks. He'll get some time back here.

How far back is Evans? Has he got enough time on Voeckler to take yellow??
