They are saving their legs for the Hors catégorie climb on the Champs-Élysées.

Only if they put shock collars on them (set to "burn") that are
activated if they turn around to look for each other.

Jeeze, Cadel certainly had a different look about him this morning--
just a quick moment seen on Versus.

Makes a big difference when you have a capable team. Like bringing a
gun to a gun fight instead of a shirt with a target on the back and
front.

As I read the subject line, all I could think of was that line used by
Larry the Cable Guy, "that's funny right there, I don't care who you
are".

A Schleck Attack is similar to the twitch of an eyelid. If you're not
watching, you could miss it.

First to say I'm eating crow. Impressive attack, too bad he cracked in
the last k.

I'm putting some Gates BBQ sauce on my crow. Tastes better that way.

Perhaps the "crack" as you put it is indicative of a cleaner tour ?

Why crow? They rode like girl scouts until today.

Dump the crow and have a nice steak with all the fixings and a bowl of
muesli before lights-out; there's a mountain sprint stage tomorrow
which might be tailor-made for anyone in the top 8 (#8 is Sanchez @
5:20) to rip some tired legs clean off anyone who doesn't recover from
today and the 17 previous stages.
A. Schleck hit the wall at the end today... Voeckler was a nice yellow-
contrasting shade of purple for a few minutes near the end, too.

Not to give anybody the bird, but "other" Schleck was crowing after
today but a 1-2 brotherly love finish is only a footnote-- nothing to
get excited about after not being able to take Yellow from that
frenchie Voeckler. That opinion holds in spite of A. Schleck's crowing
about being in the perfect position for the stage tomorrow. He might
have willingly let Voeckler come back today, but I don't think so.

Then there's a rolling time trial on Saturday, which is likely going
to be a "beast" for the GC guys. Ow, and that's going to be hard to
forget on the road tomorrow.

I mean, we might even see racing on the final day-- besides Cavendish
(is he still there?) going for green and glory on the Champs.
(How's that for preparing a stick-in-the-craw dish for Sunday
afternoon?)
