Clugg posted:Yeah unless his bike literally fails like you said I can't see anyone else winning. He has fantastic bike control so I can't see him crashing out, and now that Contador's gone there's nobody left to challenge him in the mountains. Plenty of big days in the mountains left, anything can happen.

Today was a lot harder than the last time they came up here. I think Contador would have been faster, he was strongest and they all knew it.

Jurgen Van den Broeck said that Contador tried to pass him during the descent taking some risks and then fell a pothole.

Nibali will join a short list of riders (Anquetil, Contador, Gimondi, Hinault, Merckxckxc) who have won all three Grand Tours

While I've heard that carbon wheels have worse braking than aluminum rims, they've been using them for years now.

Do they use cork pads? they will play up mightily in wet conditions.

I got called away to a working session right after the first big descent. Does anyone know when the NBC iPad app replays are available? I want to pick up where I left off if possible. Looks like an intense back half of the race that I missed!

Stage 10 (Mulhouse > La Planche des Belles Filles)    Full Results Look like vino was right when he said the tour could be over after la planche des belles filles :  EN - Summary - Stage 10 (Mulhouse > La Planche des Belles Filles) EN - Hot news of the day - Stage 10 EN - The Flamme rouge - The last kilometre - Stage 10 (Mulhouse > La Planche des Belles Filles) Edit : Bjarne Riis updates on Alberto’s crash, exit and status : “Alberto crashed on a fast and straight part of the descent. He was reaching for his pocket and the bike was swept away under him probably because of a bump or hole in the road. Alberto was in the shape of his life and the entire team had our eyes fixed on the podium in Paris and the work we would have to do to get there”. Rest day tomorrow so here is a bunch of funny pics

From what I'm reading, it sounds like that was the bike that was scooped up after he crashed, he then switched bikes to Roche's (#37) below, and then later stopped on that bike to receive treatment.
