Well it seems like all of my pre-race bets are pretty much decided at this point. Only 2 in question: Rodriguez top10 (it should be good unless he blows up on Thursday) and Gesink over Leipheimer. (it will be a loss imo, Gesink should beat Levi by 2 minutes at least to stand a chance in the ITT and that's not going to happen unless Levi blows up)

Rodriguez would have lost minutes today if the peloton poured on the pace. He was struggling big time because of the heat.

Good news for him, it's going to be cold on Thursday. But hopefully there is no fighting until Tourmalet or based on what he's felt the last two stages, he could bomb bigtime.

Contador to show who is the man on Tourmalet @3.00

Contador to win - $3.05
Contador to beat Schleck - $2.05
Sammy Sanchez to beat Menchov - $2.40


I just hope AC doesn't simply mark Schleck the whole day and gift him the stage if they both finish together. Fact that he hasn't won a stage yet I am hopeful that will be enough motivation not to do that.

Contador should really win this stage.

I actually hope he doesn't. It would be good to see him win the Tour without bagging a stage win.

Samuel Sanchez is done...

[Bolar Bolabi]

Poor guy.

Contador slowing down the peloton.
