Andy Schleck remonstrates with Gorka Izagirre of Euskaltel-Euskadi
for going over the Col du Télégraphe in front of Schleck.
Apparently Schleck thinks this is his coronation procession,
and not a bicycle race.

Probably Cuddly Evans will disabuse him of that notion tomorrow.

How about the scene where he was giving the other breakaway riders
grief for not pulling through, after he'd just spent the better part
of a few minutes on Contador's wheel and not pulling through himself.
Classically classless.

Is that the time about 5km out where
he tells Evans to tow him and his brother?
Enough to make Magilla pine for Armstrong.

nope, on the early climb, Tommy V was still struggling in no man's
land at the time.

Though knowledgeable people predicted Evans taking big
time out of the Schleck brothers in the ITT, I did not
really think he would. Now I see that Andy Schleck was
going for KOM and missed it by _that_ much.
