So, after the today stage won by Pierre Roland (first vitory for France! ), Andy took the yellow jersey. Great! I like him! But I'm afraid that Cdael Evans take the yellow tomorrow, with the time trial. He's excellent at that, and Andy have only 57" beforehand on Cadel (btw, I don't really like Cadel too).
I hope Andy will keep it, he's one of the best runner currently.

Contador have tried every thing to win the stage, but Pierre Roland was stronger in the last kilometers.

That was another fantastic stage! Contador made everybody work hard today but Voeckler couldn't keep up. I also hope that Andy Schleck doesn't lose too much time during the time trial. I think he can do it because he's very close and like I said yesterday, he got his revenge on Contador. This years Tour is great! In 3 days I will start feeling down because it's going to be over for this year.

Yes, I don't like when a very nice event takes end. I'm always sad. And how will I spend my afternoons now?

Noooo! I can't see the finals because I'm going to the UK, sunday. Luckily I can still follow it on the radio.

I still think Evans is going to win. I don't know why, I just think so.

Most people are leaning towards Cadel Evans to win.

Well, Cadel won by a lot over Andy. I feel bad for Andy but he's younger than Cadel so he still have a few years to win it.

Congrats to Cadel Evans on taking the win in this years tour, since tomorrows stage will not have any major attacks. The jerseys should all be confirmed at this point so...

In the yellow jersey: Cadel Evans
In green: Mark Cavendish
in polka dot: Samuel Sanchez
in white: Pierre Roland
team competition: Garmin-Cervelo

Tomorrow will be a cruise into Paris before one of the sprinters goes for the win on the Champs-Elysee. Congrats to all with jersey victories!

An awesome Tour de France, but bad finished. Evans in yellow and Cavendish in green, after winning at Champs-Elysees (I don't like them a lot).
But I'm happy for Pierre Rolland, a new french runner, strong in mountain.
