Something to watch on the climb in addition to the main andy-Alberto battle:

Samuel Sanchez crashed hard early in the stage, and while still in the lead group has been grimacing and struggling on the other climbs.

Rabobank senses weakness and is pacing the peleton to set Denis Menchov up for a podium finish if he can crack Sanchez (which looks likely).

Good point, commish, the Sanchez-Menchov battle is yet another very interesting aspect of these final Stages.

Charteau can seal the polka-dot, too.
