    It worked having a thread during the TDF so why not for Spain.

    As I am playing catch up, is Andy Schleck racing?

    The Froome v Contador battle looks exciting.

    Any other contenders do you think?

    Just more great racing. Shame about Froome but watching the agony of the climbing of the 4 top contenders has been borderline inspirational.

    Aye, I don’t like Contador
    Aye, I don’t like Contador but I have to admit, his attacking style was sorely missed at this year’s tour.

    Having four attacking riders in Contador, Rodriguez (who is always great to watch), Valverde and Froome definitely spices things up and I’m looking forward to the next two weeks although I’m worried that the three Spaniards will gang up on Froome if he takes the red jersey on Wednesday.

    I thought it was funny. 😀
    And all that rubbish about how Valverde was the race leader annoyed me – if Movistar had wanted to keep the jersey they wouldn’t have let the gap go to 13 mins. As it turns out, had he not crashed he’d have been thanking Sky and Saxo etc for closing the gap so he could keep the jersey!
    But I guess no-one knows more than Valverde about doing the honourable thing and being fair to your fellow professionals… 😕
    (Actually I know very little about the circumstances surrounding his ban, so that might be unfair, but hey – its probably not.)

    Hardly bottling it. He had a broken pelvis, his Sacrum to be picky, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacrum

    I wouldn’t be rushing back either, his problems with his knee have also returned. That and his brother can’t race with him 👿

    So 3 weeks might be a bit much, his last turn out for RSNT in America instead 😉
