Wasn’t that awesome. I feel bad for Roy, he gave it everything he had but the God of Thunder was not to be denied. You could see the disappointment on Roy’s face as he crossed the line. He was crying. The French wanted a stage, but they haven’t had it yet this year. Still, their man is in the yellow, and the race gets even more brutal for the next week or so.
I am so humbled by what I saw today. Pain is temporary, glory is forever.
I expect to see the Schlecks go after it today. With an HC climb to finish they should be looking to take the 2 minutes they need away from Voekler and break Contador in the process. If it turned out that they can get a gap on Evans, things will get very interesting for the rest of the mountain stages.
