Did anyone see today's stage?
Superb attack by Luis-Leon Sanchez on the descent of the final climb of the day and he managed to continue it right to the finish to takeover the yellow jersey from Alberto Contador. Contador had no team mates (Astana sent a weak team with him) to help him and was forced to do all the chasing, which eventually caused him to totally crack in the last 3 km of the stage, losing over two and a half minutes on Sanchez.
Last stage is tomorrow on Eurosport.
Some might say that this result gives the other GC cyclists hope for the Tour de France but I reckon a situation like today won't happen to Contador in that race because Astana will have the likes of Leipheimer, Lance Armstrong and Kloeden to help him out then.
Still, it's nice to see that Contador is at least human after his incredible time trial performance on the prologue of this race.
