Just wondering the groups feelings on how the yellow jersey changed hands today.  Was the attack a "fair" attack?

Cycling is a sport of honor and continuing the attack was not the "honorable" thing.   But, Mr C. does not worry about the honor... he worries about himself.

Running down Vino the other day??? Really???  Now this??   I think he is losing fans.

But,  nothing in the rules against it.. so I guess it's legal.

The real winner here is us. We are going to see one legendary performance out of Andy tomorrow, on the Tourmalet nonetheless! It looked like a desperate attack, but i dunno. It is a tough call, especially with the summit so close.

If Alberto doesn't show his worth tom. or Thursday in sacking Andy, the court of public opinion will chide him for a long, long time. The war is ON!

Anyone realize that Andy and Alberto would be tied today if they just finished together the day Andy had his mechanical? hmmm.. seems like the infamous attack had an effect on the entire Tour standings.
