Le Tour de Pharmaceutical

And here is the gradient on the first climb - the last 10km at 10% gradient.

Tonight could be Contador's night...

that looks uglier than a hatful of arseholes

Huzzah, 2.5 vertical kms - should be grouse to watch if the cricket from Edgbaston gets tedious.

And tell me summat - am I the only bloke who screams at the teev "get the fark out of the way, you stoopid farkers" at all those moron spectators who clog the roads then step out of the way at the very last second??

Cadels team is going to have to work overtime but i think they are capable.

It depends if they are stepping out of the way of the cyclists or the support cars...

And the farquits who wave flags in their faces.

.............. and why is it always blokes who are running up the road in their underwear? Surely the French chicks could do the same!

Wally makes a very good point

The gals are scared of an underwear malfunction.

French guys have nothing to fear in that department.

Well, they could dispense with it entirely. Fine with me.

In that case they might suffer a bikerack malfunction.

A hairy bike rack?

I don't know. They don't get many Saffie girls up the col, do they?

FFS ... 9003 feet ... that's a fair climb.

Andy Schleck attacks & none of the other contenders have reacted. They've let him go.

Contador responds a bit; the others cover him.

Andy riding for Frank?

Shleck now has a 2.15 lead over the other leaders.

Interesting last 50km coming up.

3 minutes up now

Looks to be all over for Cadel. Nearly 4 mins up now putting Cadel about 2.45 behind.

make that 3.5 ... still only a lethargic response from the Pelaton

When are the other big guns going to attack?

strange ... they may still be hoping that Schleck collapses?

Schleck now out by 4 minutes. Contador and Evans leading a late counter-attack, how late - too late. Frank Schleck joins in to try to spoil ...

Gap coming down a little now.

Be an amazing ride from Schleck if he holds onto more than half that lead pushing up the mountain on his own
