looks downhill all the way after the mountain, so first to the top wins?

Or a bunch makes it to the top and a good descender attacks down the other side (Sammy Sanchez?)

Descending 1,300m in 29km. That's going to be fast

No, I have a burning need.

In other news I just ordered this from Stomach of Anger:

flattens with 10k to go with a bit of a hill in the middle, lone tt from miller? cancellara? but they'd have to be not too far off at the summit which looks a big much.

will sanchez have any legs left after yesterday? well they are pretty much superhuman so yeah he'll fancy that i think.

Would like to see Millar go for it. As long as he's got the balls he should be able to close a 1/2 minute gap coming down that hill.

Jeremy Roy makes it to the top of col d'Aubisque with the main pack nearly eight minutes behind.

Let's hope no-one flies over the edge. Mahoosive drops.

I'm not the only one who reads 'Jeremy Roy' as 'Ron Jeremy' am I?

You're not the only one.

Those two will catch him with a kilometre to go.

All hail the God of Thunder.

Russinating · 15 Jul 2011 at 16:18

Loved Hushovd's look backs and grins towards the end of that. Must be ecstatic.

ic1male · 15 Jul 2011 at 16:19

That was rather good.

Great ride from Thor.

VaderDSL · 15 Jul 2011 at 20:58

Anyone see the Vultures?

Some funny comments regarding Hoogerland (it was light hearted) and Spanish Beef

ic1male · 15 Jul 2011 at 21:01

Yes, I don't think I've ever seen vultures before! It was quite a spectacle.

Cosimo · 16 Jul 2011 at 07:27

Today's 168.5 km stage 14, the last in the Pyrenees:

Little change in the leaderboard but that will change today:

VaderDSL · 16 Jul 2011 at 09:39

Indeed, I don't think Voeckler can hang on any more sadly

I think today we'll see The Schleck brothers attack Cadel Evans mainly to get andy up into second maybe first.

ic1male · 16 Jul 2011 at 09:55

The racing doesn't start until 11.05am and ITV4 go on air at 11am so we shouldn't miss anything (except during the ads).

Hope they attack contador today.
