Is there any way to watch online other than paying for the stream from versus?

check out steephill.tv
It has a listing of various feeds for the tour and other races- and be sure to check out the Sirotti pictures (some of the best in the business).

I say no, it was Shlecks mistake. He shifted badly while standing and applying power.

I guess you could say that SRAM didn't give Andy the "yellow treatment" today, huh? Wink

I like the old unwritten rule that says you don't attack the yellow if there is any sort of mechanical.

Contador said he didn't know about the mechanical...hmmm. Don't you wonder why you blew by him as if he were standing still?

Crap. Just typed a long post and iphome lost it.

Anyway the gist was:
Versus iphone app on wifi = good. On 3G = crap.

Contador = douche but will likely win.

I'm cheering harder for schleck now.

John - if contador knew it was schlecks own fault thats one thing but if he didnt know what caused his biggest rival to suddenly stop....hmmmm

Leave it to Contador to find ways to get people to dislike him even when he wins. He's got a near Lance-like ability to do that.

Will Andy Schleck be the Poulidor to Contador's Anquetil? Only time will tell...

The way Andy's rear tire lifted tells me that it was more than a dropped chain. It sounds more like a limit screw on the rear derailleur that had the chain dropping b/t the cog and frame, therefore seizing the chain and causing the rear end to lift. All that sounds good, but I never saw him pulling on the chain like it were wedged, so i'm not sure.

Lemond must be hating the fact that Floyd took the yellow jersey for Lance-bashing, so he's going to fight to get it back.

What's Lemond going to say to investigators? "Frankie Andreu told me that Lance told him that...". That'll be incriminating... Rolling Eyes

Need finesse to control that power!!

Anyone see video of jens voigts crash? Front blowout at 70kph sounds nasty. He was philosophical about it - "this time last year i was in hospital". Smile

Greg was on the money calling out Lance for doping long before Landis came out and told the truth about what really went on at Armstrongs team- Lance deserves the lightning rod for all of his cheating and re-starting the doping revolution after his first tour win. He has done some great things in his fight with cancer, but as a racer he did nothing IMHO.

Schleck- he uses a modification (the Bernal cage- AC uses it as well...) which in essence is home made. I wonder if that had anything to do with "chain gate"
