well an interesting day, glad to finally be watching.
evans is going to be so damn tough. the guy always looks like everything is going exactly to plan... no doubt he is pleased with the last 2 days.
i'm glad to see menchov came through with a good show to keep close and hopefully valverde rebounds and gets feisty again soon enough. then theres cunego, sastre, sammy sanchez & andy schleck all still within 2 minutes.. i'm hoping the time gaps might be just enough to encourage a little action on thursday.
ricco dropped over 3 minutes, but i'm assuming he still has good form for the climbs. given that he'll have something to prove & that the serious bunch probably won't dig in too deep to chase him if he goes, he'll be my pick for Super Besse.
live coverage for me tomorrow morn, big sprint finish.
