Here's hoping for some action today...so far I'm frustrated with the lack of attacking. Most GC contenders seem content with their placings. Or are unwilling/unable to attack. I hate to be pessimistic but might this continue through the Alps?

hmmmm...Lance a bit slow????? well for a 38 yr old slowcoach he's only 8 secs of fYellow, personally I think he has done phenomally well considering the collarbone break thrown in to the mix], although 99% of my admiration this TDF goes to "Twiggo" I hope he hangs in for a top 10 finish at least , and who knows if he hangs in there in the alps before the TT [which he could win] then who knows up Mt Ventoux? If not too hot then he may even be pushing for a podium finish, could be one of the most heroic British performances since the sad passing of Tommo, what a fitting tribute to the legend that would be. Wiggins for a podium finish? outside bet for me........
