Don't understand all the love for the rubber faced, whiny Aussie. I'd far prefer Andy Schleck to win but sadly doesn't look like that's going to happen

Not on Eurosport, 1 second!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cadel leads!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is insanity!!!
Now I feel sorry for AS . . . . .
The Gendarmerie are going to arrest Evans at the finish for the beating he's handing out to Schleck
come on cadel!!! 😀 i'll shut up now 😉
no,its reality!
schleck needs to stop bouncing over potholes and look ahead.
Now we know why Cadel didn't feel the need to ride up Alpe d'Huez.

Schleck will win it eventually, he's only young. This is Evans last chance.
Exactly Stuey... he deserves it too 😀
I've never understood all the Cadel love either. If AS wins, the tour would have been won on the Galibier and be legendary. If CE wins it'll have been all on the ITT and we'll have forgotten by next year.
because hes a mountain biker at heart.. thats why :O)
Arrgghhh, I've got to go out at 4. I'm going to miss the result aren't I?
Come on ANDY!!!!!!!!

The TT is pure racing though: no tactics, no team mates, just rider vs rider over the same course.

I'm not going to forget the ride Evans did on the Galibier.
It's a fine tradition to win tours on time trials, just ask Miguel Indurain
Andy can't ride downhill, can't ride around corners, isn't very good at changing gear, cant sprint. He's good at going uphill, that's it.
Until he becomes a better all round rider he doesn't deserve to win.
Whatever happens it'll have been won on the Galibier - either by Andy's great break or, more likely, by Evans superb closing down of the gap.
Voeckler for the podium?
Can't get a time check
Cadel knows how to position himself approaching corners better than so many others.Its not all about the straightest line/shortest distance and firing through.. his vision enables him to go faster.
Joking aside, I was gutted for CE when he crashed and effectivly lost any chance of getting anywhere in the tour the other year. Good effort from him this year.
Schleck's body language tells it all - he's knackered, lacking confidence and knows he's beaten.
Voeckler for the podium?
Doesn't look like it - not gaining much on Frank (and has Contador breathing down his neck, so just hanging on for 4th).
Ahem, he's also not very good a time trials...
is everyone forgetting Cadels first ascent of the Galiber? pulled a group up, on his own, out his saddle for 30 mins, incredible
they are talking about AC on the podium now?
see cadel take the jump?
Did you see that jump from Cadel!! Awesome!! 😀
Nice little bunny hop from Cadel
Schleck has no legs left
see cadel take the jump?
He's show boating now.
How much air did he get?! 😯 More than I do on my 6" AM rig... 😳
go evans! 😀
forks are about to pop off now though! could have lost the freekin chain fs.
is going to manual over the line?
evans home
good work fella! 😀
Great ride by Evans.
Beast of a ride by Cadel.....
Wow, just wow!
I was thinking Evans would come in 57-58 and still put time on the Schlecks. 55:40 was ridiculous!
Superb ride, took his chance with both hands.
Unbelievable! great ride, well deserved tour win by Evans
Well done to Evans. Done the whole Tour with basically no help.
First clean tour in years?
That was a monster of a ride.
Nice one Cadel 😀
Don't forget Cadel was on the attack on stage 4 up a little hill in Brittany. Thoroughly deserved win.
Brilliant! This is the best tour i can remember. Just Cav to finish it off now. Pity about Wiggins. I think he would've been up there with cadel. Could've been a brit 1-2 for yellow and green!
Magnificent.
Did I see Evans huck it off a kerb whilst on the aero bars?
I thought you guys all hated Cadel - amazing how things turn out isn't it?
As a fellow Aussie, I think its great!
i never hated him 🙂 (have always liked seeing him in the tour/after winning world mtb champs).although i wish that bradley was in the race (that was who i would have loved to have seen win le tour) well done cadel 😀
Two whole days ago……

Evans has tour sewn up now I think.

Eh? Have you been watching today's stage (or indeed the rest of the TdF)? Where exactly do you get that idea from?
Well….. I told you so! 😉 Experience and knowledge dear chap, experience and knowledge.
However I did also write...
will need to be 2min 15 plus ahead at the beginning of the ITT to have a chance of yellow in Paris.
Sorry, a little bit out there – looks like 2mins 30 was the magic number!
Now what shall I spend my £140 winnings on (£100 bet placed at 7/5)….Needs to be something sporty not more ale – feeling motivated to get fit again.
Good racing again today - good tour overall for the armchair pundit I thought.
edit - although I have to admit I did feel just a touch concerned early yesterday when he had his mechanical 🙂
Shame that, that the moron won it.

Make some more money. Put the lot on cavendish winning green.
Gutted for Andy Schleck, 3 times runner up in a row, still he got time on his side and he should win it one day.
Yay! the person I wanted to lose the least didn't!
go bumface!

Respect for the chin/forhead bum crack combo
+ the bit between mouth and nose FTW!
Philtrum
don't be too upset for as, he'll be given the 2010 tour win in due course.
I wonder if Evans will give Nigel Mansell his eyebrows back now.
