I had a lot of anger in my stomach over AC's comments that he didn't see what happened to AS as he was already attacking. Nonsense! He was a good 30' behind Schleck when his chain came off. The person who had an excuse for missing it (and riding on) is Vinokourov and he waited!

Plus, give me a break: with race radios there is no excuse for not knowing what is going on up and down the course. Everyone knew what had happened and some chose to take advantage. Shame on them! To Phil (whom I adore): you don't stop the race for every puncture or mechanical but you DO stop the race when it's the yellow jersey or #2. You should know that.

Good summary luv2ski.

Alberto’s belated apology to me is a PR move.

Andy is being gracious by referencing it.

Time for him to go all out to bury AC tomorrow.....

A few interesting things from Gerard Vroomen, Cervelo co-founder, on Contador's move.

First, from his twitter yesterday, "Tough for Riis after st15: How to support Schleck & criticize Contador while you try to sign Contador to replace Schleck?"

This makes more sense than AS and AC on a team together. It does leave up in the air where AS and presumably FS will be. I'm still hoping for Team Radio Schleck.

He also posted a blog about what happened and unwritten rules in cycling. Pretty interesting. here

Pretty interesting.
