Okay team sky is really good with wiggins,froome and cavendish so can BMC and Evans beat sky ? So far Wiggins is winning by over 1 minute cause he beat Cancellara and Froome in the time trial.

I totally agree, Evans has a lot of work to figure out a good strategy to gain time on Wiggins.

Today Thomas Voeckler took the stage victory, the dotted jersey and the red number. He is a very tactical cyclist and took the lead at the end. I think he is a good cyclist but I don't think he has a chance for the yellow jersey.

The last kilometers looked painful, everybody was at the end of their rope but Voeckler prevailed. My legs were hurting in support for them.

Unfortunately there are always some imbeciles causing trouble.
I must admit that team Sky is amazing and strong this year.
Bradley Wiggins just taught the World a lesson in sportsmanship.
Luis Leon Sanchez did a great job getting rid of Peter Sagan to win the stage.

Today's stage was crazy... Bradly Wiggins is certainly better than Contador, who will accelerate when his opponent's chain breaks! Thaboss was sad that Andy Schleck wasn't in this year's Tour.

Thaboss was really rooting for Frank Schleck this year, but it doesn't look likely he'll even make the top 5. Thaboss's next favorite would have to be Cadel Evans, but after today, he really wouldn't be to mad if Wiggins won. Such sportsmanship.

I hope you guys watched stage 18 because it was exciting.
OMG, the finish was incredible, Nicolas Roche and Luis Leon Sanchez were in the break away at about 100 meters to the end, Mark Cavendish leaded by Bradley Wiggins came flying by the 2 leaders and won the stage a few meters to the finish line.
Wow I'm glad I watched it. I thought the stage would be boring because the riders are tired from almost three weeks of pedaling but man was I wrong! xD
