Pulling for Andy but won’t be disappointed if it’s cadel.

Anyone think Frank has a chance.

Andy does look sluggish. Cadel strong confident attacking.

Cadel’s form and power is astonishing. He looks like he’s flying.

Andy’s done a lot of coasting on descents.

Agree. Looks like a recon ride. Not a go for broke effort.

He doesn’t have the legs today and he is struggling with the TT setup. Shame it had to end this way after how good he was in the Alps. But Evans hung with him and waited for today.

Agree. He looked sluggish from the start where Cadel had that high cadence look all the way.

Congrats also to Cadel as I think he will be the first World Mountain Bike /
TDF champ.

Well, I can tell you that this will be HUGE for the sport with regard to new fans, new clubs and young riders Down Under. Welcome Australia’s LeMond... And this finish was almost as thrilling as 1989. Vive le Tour, vive La France, and THANK YOU RIDERS!

I won't be here tomorrow, but I want to say it has been a pleasure riding out this tour with all of you.

For the last three weeks I have gone to bed looking forward to joining the Free Republic peloton in the morning.
--- Thanks to all of you for the fun, Bay

THANK YOU, Baynative for your fabulous insights every day of this wonderful Tour. I've been watching every day, but haven't had much time to comment here on FR.

Congratulations to CADEL EVANS for winning Le Tour de France! Finally
