Nibali will try.

You need several of the other GC boys to attack as well. Not just Cadel and BMC.

not going to win with 1 attack - need at least 2-3 a day at least

Recover a bit then try again next climb

Not good signs for cadel, hanging off the back.

Damnit. lets hope the 2 sky riders fall off.

Sky is looking strong.

Very bad if Cadel loses to much energy on this, he could slip back into the peleton and fall off that=\

Not looking to good.

Dont think this is gonna work.

Doesn't look like it's working..

not sure if Cadel not being able to keep up is good signs=\

Whoa peleton just collapsed.

Noticed it way before the commentators:p

Very smart tactics. lets hope it pays off.

2 teammates with Cadel.

Another BMC rider. the Decent will help cadel hes a great decenter and will save energy

Caught everyone off guard.

Well in son! They needed a BMC guy in the breakaway though to fall back and help some more

EDIT: There was one! I joined late :/

Cadel has gone very early i was expecting about the 40km mark, if Cadel can knock out Team sky he should get some major time.

Levi is helping.

thats some bloody insane acceleration.

Oh shit the peleton coming up=\

Go Cadel

GO CADEL !!!!!!!!!!

a move from BMC?

Agreed. I won't Cadel to win but if he can't I hope it's anyone but Wiggins. He is a very arrogant man.

I agree, usually the tour favours a strong climber who can put in a decent time trial. This year it definitely favours a strong time trialler who can climb decently. There's been some good racing still and Cadel has been putting in some phenomenal rides. Just don't like the dynamics this year.

I agree mountain climbing is far more interesting but the tour is to test all strengths, cant really complain either as much as id like to because Cadel beat the Schlecks with the time trial.

But atleast Cadel did have mountain battles with schleck, atm Wiggins has done sweet fuck all, id rather Cadel or Nibali win.

Really don't like the number of Individual Time Trials in this years Tour. It may be the "truest" gauge of who is the best rider but the mountain racing is far more interesting.

Wiggins can climb ok, but Team Sky's strategy is to basically get him smashing the ITTs and get his team to drag him up the climbs. :(

didnt see that coming.

Cmonnnnn cadelll i think its crucial he take time off tonight=-\

Huge news Fabian Cancellara has pulled out of the tour to return home to be with his wife for the birth of their second child.
