Andy Shleck gritting his teeth, Alberto also showing a bit of a grimace. Lance is sitting on Frank Shlecks wheel with the same stone face he has always had.
Wiggins keeps falling back and then diggin back to them.

Having Brunyeel as your director sportif doesn’t hurt either!

Wiggins is in! and it looks like he holds of Frank Shleck by a couple seconds for 4th place in the GC.
Kloden is in. Falls to 6th in GC, possibly 7th as he and Nibali are very close time wise now.

Indeed it doesn’t. I haven’t seen it but heard that Levi and Kloden are coming with him. Sounds like Lance and Bruyneel are sticking to the MO of having the best team in the tour. That is an unbelievable advantage. As good as Contador is he better get a strong team to back him if he wants to fight off the old man.

Looks like I can get some work done now! Great ride by Lance. He had something to prove and he did.
