Two things from cyclingnews:

15:15 CEST 136km/75km to go
Valjavec continues to set tempo for the yellow-clad Landis in the bunch, which is also on this climb. Phonak is stronger than it looked yesterday - Floyd explained this in the post-race press conference, that he told his teammates to take it easy yesterday. Axel Merckx was the only rider within cooee of Landis at the finish.

To which I say cooee? eh?

15:17 CEST 138km/73km to go
Interestingly, Landis is waring black and white shorts, as opposed to his teammates wearing yellow and green. Maybe the Phonak yellow didn't quite match with the maillot jaune. We wouldn't want a clash, would we? That would be very unhip.

What did I say yesterday? That combo was hideous. Even a Mennonite could tell...

BIg Picture racing there. Floyd must have felt he could handle yesterday on his own, and he wants the team fresh for the Alps.

This really puts Landis & Phonak's strategy out in the open. Stay close through the Pyrenee's and put it away in the Alps.

LOL!! Did you notice the description of Landis in his PHO uniform at the end of that WaPo article? '..like an ear of corn..." :)
