We’ve seen some pretty interesting racing over the past few days: a photo finish saw Greipel get up, a well-timed attack from Luis Leon Sanchez netted him a stage and Pierrick Fedrigo outsprinted Christian Vande Velde for the win last night.
I’m still fairly confident Sagan can win Green but Cadel’s chances at Yellow rest mostly on the next few days.
I really hope the defending champ can come out firing and give Wiggins hell in the Pyrenees but they’ve never been a particularly happy stomping ground for Cadel in the past.
It’s going to be interesting – can the rest day help Cadel more than the others?
With that, onto the Twitterverse…
JV has been known to play the odd practical joke or two but this one is a pisser. I may have been wrong about him:
Advice for bored travelers:duct tape a big knife to stack of raunchy”adult entertainment”.sneak in friends carry on pre-security.Good times!

Crime-scene evidence #shouldbewearingrubbergloves
Dramatic day here at the Tour…3x punctured in the last 38km-all from tacks. If it wasn’t for my (BMC) boys… #tdflockerz.com/s/225299751

Mike Tomalaris clearly imaging Andy Schleck in a red bikini #theshireisshit #Tour de France12
Wondering if there’ll ever be a French #tdf version of the “Shire?” *shuddering* That’s just incomprehensible.

Cav is employing his typical British vocabulary #scumbags #tacksontheroad=disaster

Quote of the day @bradwiggins after waiting for Cadel “We decide this thing on the road, not through external things that may affect it!”

The one and only time you will ever hear David Millar complain about the course not being hilly enough
Man alive I felt good today. Did the old one-two with @christianvdv. Pity the finish wasn’t up a big mountain; he’d have won by miles if so.

As previously stated, if Jens Voigt said this, its bad news for everyone #jensvoigtquotes #shutuplegs
I just realised today that beyond pain there is a whole new universe of more pain….
