Frank Frank Frank :? At least he has the chance to get off with a wrist slap on this one, but with that CSC Saxo Bank shadyness in his past, it could go pear shaped very shortly.

He ate a dodgy Luxemburger. It was a prescription for PMS in return for his payment of 8,000 euros to Dr Fuentes the gynaecologist. Seriously, though, I wonder what it was supposed to be masking?

A tour filled with disappointments. First with Andy's withdraw and then Cadel's misfortunes with Sky's tight grip in GC. Now this. TdF 2012 is one of the least exciting tours in recent years. Quite boring actually.

Unless Cadel can pull a rabbit out of the hat tonight....an epic stage tonight given the climbs involved. I'd almost wager if Wiggo is still in yello at days end it's as good as over.

Given the form of Wiggins and the ever better form of Fromme, I just can't see how an isolated and diesel like Cadel can do anything. This is just amazing, Cadel and supporters complained about a lack of team mates who can stay with him during his Lotto years, now in BMC, he is still a loner once the road slopes up. What's going on? I too hope that Cadel can gain a spark but I am not seeing it. In the telecast, Leggett has tried his best each time to suggest that Cadel is a fantastic descender and will gain time. No, it has not worked once. :(

Sad, when the Gabriel Gate cooking segment is the highlight. I'll go nuts if I have to sit through the Swisse ads for much longer.

Van Garderen must be invisible :? Cadel has been very well supported this year on all terrains. He even had a teammate help him try to get away on the toughest stage in the Alps. Unfortunately he could not hold his wheel. BMC are not the cause of Cadel's problems, they've done an excellent job imo.

BOT, whether Frank has done anything wrong or not it's leading the headlines, not good news.

You must be loving the erection medication ads, too, Marto. Take a pill and your house and garden go topsy turvy around you!

I don't think Cadel is riding too differently to last year. It's simply that Wiggo is on another level atm. (Edit;(Argh!) ANDY had Cadel's measure in the hilly stuff in 2011, but Cadel crapped all over his parade with the TT ability. This year Cadel doesn't have that as an insurance policy, so It'spretty much been game over for a week or so.

It makes me want to see Contador back in the peloton and give Wiggins and Froome a run for their money.
