Any word On Rolland's illegal manoeuvre?
EDIT - Apparently... Rolland awarded first place on fourth climb Rolland, despite his tactics in the race for the two points at the top of the fourth climb, has been declared winner of the race to the line at the 51km mark. |

I'm assuming Euskatel will be appealing to the race jury after the finish? I mean, Rolland's move was blatantly outside of the rules.

I would have thought that in the long term Kreuziger was the man for them. Contador always struck me as the guy they had brought in for some quick success but not for the long term.
Contador has said today he is not defending the Vuelta, and will focus on next years tour. http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/cont...-title-defence Who's gonna ride that (la vuelta) for Sky? |

Froome did ride both the Tour and the Vuelta last year Not sure about who else will ride it, but Sky have a pretty decent roster so should be able to make a strong team - they have the likes of Dario Cataldo, Bernie Eisel and Christian Knees who didn't ride the Tour. |

Boom, Sky hit the front of the peleton and everyone else sobs for mercy. Good to see Lopez doing a bit of work for once.

Ooh now this is getting exciting
![]() If by some miracle Van Garderen stays out, would the 50 points make him the winner of the King of the Mountains? Edit: Never mind, Van Garderen doesn't have a hope of beating the Sky train to the top of the Col! |

It would be fantastic if Chris Froome was setting it up for Richie Porte, there's no-one I'd want to see win this stage more than Porte!

Woohoo Rodriguez is on the podium as it stands, and Contador is not
![]() I can forgive them all for riding off on Richie Porte as long as they ride Contador off the podium And Porte's getting a nice free ride up the mountain, which is good.I don't care which of the top 3 win the stage, they're all class acts.

ITV commentators are terrible, they're getting so much wrong! And so slow at picking up other developments, took them a long time to figure out Valverde was in front of Contador, something the TV pictures were telling us already!

I have to defend the ITV team as they can do no wrong in my book. Sorry mate, but we agree to disagree again.
