Going to be interesting to see how Andy reacts to Frank being out. If Frank were still in, I think Andy would be sitting very good.

For Lance to have only lost 50 seconds chasing down a group that had Contador, Vino and Wiggins is impressive. To me that is a great sign for Lance if Radio Shack sticks with him in the rest of the tour.

I think Andy has enough SAXO hosses to help him through w/o Frank, tho the psychological might be tough.

Lance did great, I agree. Popo did all he could. Looks like the cobbles had the effect of separating teammates. No team was able to dominate the top 20 today:
