Very bittersweet. This time it was Lance's turn to hear "Pas des cadeaux! No gifts."
Since he did not get the stage win today, it will be interesting to see if Lance gives it one last go on Tourmalet Thursday.
extremely doubtful since Schleck and Contador will be slugging it out up the mountain, but if Lance has any legs at all he could sneak off with an attack at the base while Andy and Alberto are marking each other.
Of course, then there is also the RSH team and the possible top 10 finishes of Levi and Horner to protect.
