SPOILER: Barredo attacked the lead group with 44km left and was caught under the red kite thanks to Horner and Moreau pulling late. Lance tried to sprint but didn't have much left in his tank. Fedrigo with the win today.

Lance rode well, this leg was literally 100 yds too long for his legs. When he sat back down near the end to claim 6th he was done. He is 33 minutes off the pace. Yet in the team standings, Radioshack is 4 minutes ahead after today. So we may see him on a podium yet in this tour

As long as RadioShack marks any Caisse D'Epargne break attempts on Thursday and Friday, then they've got the Team GC in the bag. The Shack Attack should be able to equal or better them in the time trial on Saturday. Who will be assigned to cover Christophe Moreau Thursday in his quest for the Polka Dot jersey? Maybe it'll be Popovych or Paulinho's task. It would be cool to see Lance podium in his last Tour - even if it's just for the Team GC.

Let's go Schleck! Unleash your anger and take a ride on the Dark Side!

Looks like today will be Judgement Day for Le Tour 2010, I'm sure Schleck needs to take yellow today to have any chance.

Who would have ever guessed that the 3 leaders for Radio Shack could all possibly finish behind their super domestique Chris Horner? Spectacular climbing by Horner today vaulting him into the Top 10.

Thats because our hero LA never seem to help levi. I never once saw him in front f levi or carry him. Pretty disappointing. Horner is a beast of a rider.

Whoever wins Green, today showed there is no doubt who the best 'sprinter' is, Cav gets #4, rolling the last 20 metres.

Wow, Schleck is making it a lot closer in the time trial than anyone thought.
It will be controversy if Contador wins the tour by less than 30-35 seconds.

Quite an impressive time trial by Schleck today. This will go down as a controversial win due to the dropped chain incident where Contador overtook Schleck.

As expected, Cancellara wins the time trial
Contador beats Schleck today by 31 secs.
Which means that he will win the tour by 39 secs.
Which means that if not by Schleck's mechanical trouble, and if everything else stayed the same, they would be tied right now.

Up bright and early this morning, hoping to get a good barrier side view of today's final stage and a Cavendish win!

So how was it? Get a good view of Cav's 5th win of this Tour?

Superb, got there about 10ish, already getting busy. Got a spot right on the barrier at the Roosevelt/Champs junction, about 300 yards from the finish, couldn't get nearer, all ticketed seating. Stood many long hours, entertained by the publicity caravan, fantastic sight, the speed of the riders has to be seen to be believed, rounded off with yet another Cavendish sprinting masterclass.
