Judging by the Dauphiné it looks like only Froome is on the magical Sky dope, so it might get interesting. Nieve looks good but Porte seems to be all over the place.

I've checked the numbers and the chance is at exactly 0 percent.

With the time trial where it is this year, he doesnt have to. All he needs to do is sit on the wheel of Contador for the entire tour. Unless something goes wrong its Contador that has to put 4+ minutes on him in the mountains, which judging from today, will be alone as his team disintegrated.
Why would Bertie want to win the GC by 3 minutes when as little as one second is enough?

Hoped I would be able to edit that... In a crowded airport bar and couldn't understand why there was only a few kms left (I'm not that jet lagged). Of course they are showing yesterday's stage.....

Contador lucky to not get knocked over by that policeman.

Too popular to get busted? A lot of people didn't like him because he was just too good.

Drug or no drugs, he was just better than the rest (who would have been on the same stuff anyway).

Nice to see Wiggins is still alive and it will be interesting to see what he can do in the spring classics next year.
