4k to go - hope he can hold and not blow it for tomorrow.

There’s still no reaction from Alberto Contador in the yellow jersey group, and he will need to do something very special indeed on Alpe d’Huez now if he is to win the Tour.
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha:

Alberto Contador is dropped by the Evans group. He is really struggling here, although he manages to make his way back up to the tail of the group.

Like Indurain on Les Arcs in 1996, it’s been a sudden capitulation from Contador.

Contador is definitively dropped from the Evans group. His Tour de France challenge is over. We should have known, he surely would have contributed to the chase had he had the legs.

Evans and Basso are next over the line, now can Voeckler save yellow?
17:42:08 CEST
Yes he can... Voeckler dives across the line 2:20 down on Andy Schleck to salvage the maillot jaune by 16 seconds. He is visibly exhausted as he crosses the line.
