Tour De France 2011

If u not busy today.

Today worth watching.

Have a bet on Cadel Evans

There is no way Andy Schleck will lost this year's tour

Agree with PeeKay, Andy looks good for the title, the climb to Alpe-d'Huez will probably decide the winner. Andy needs a good lead over Evens who is a better time trialist.

Bet Andy a while back,some of the racing has been brillian this year,it`s a pleasure to watch now they are clamping down on the drug cheats..

Cadel unfortunately cannot lose unless he falls of in the time trial tomorrow..shame Andy tried all..just couldnt get that 1min 30 secs he needed

6/10 Evans, 18/10 Schleck

Really pulling for Schleck. Unlucky last year and his ride on Thursday was what champions are made of. Think that is a good price as he will know what he has to do the whole way in the time trial. He wont need any motivation today to ride the trial of his life!

I remeber in 2008 the same was said when Cadel was chasing Carlos Sastre and Cadel never got close. The yellow jersey on a mans back can motivate and inspire him to perform way above what he would normally do. Andy's time trial last year was only 30 seconds off Contador and 4 minutes ahead of Cadel and in 2009 Andy was only 31 seconds behind Cadel. I think Andy will be wearing the yellow yersey when the get to Champs Elysees.

Good call Oscar, poor Andy's legs just didn't seem to have the strength today but even if he did it was an inspired ride by Cadel.

Andy could still win. If Cadel gets run over by a French TV car.<

Obviously we hope history doesn't repeat itself, but there was something almost comical about that poor Dutch rider going head over heels into a barbed wire fence earlier in the Tour, courtesy of a TV car swerving around a tree. That is the one image of the 2011 Tour that will live with me forever.
