apparently costa elbowed barredo about 20k back. so barredo went after him. they got fined 400 swiss francs. barredo later apologized to costa.
as to cav, he was very nice when he signed my bicycle at the tour of california. yes he's young and brash and cocky -- how soon we forget -- robbie mcewen was young and brash and very cocky once.
i love the tour. every minute, every day.

I'm pretty much resigned to the couch tomorrow--tour in the morning, soccer in the afternoon! V. happy for Chavenel today--he was so proud. Good for him!! Anxious to see what happens in the mountains tomorrow.

What a great day for the Schleck fans!
Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

Yes, it was and a bad day for Lance fans. Andy Schleck sure looked strong today. It will be interesting to see what happens after the rest day, won't it? Go Levi!

Yep! I am a Lance fan so was very sorry to see him fall so far today. Perhaps he shouldn't have tried the tour this year, but I give him props for going for it. I hope he'll stick with it and support Levi; would love to see Levi on the podium, tho' it's unlikely. Very happy to see Andy beat Alberto today - hope that trend continues!

Yay Andy!
I'm an Armstrong fan, controversial though he may be, and I'm very disappointed for him today. He's not the type to take his toys and go home just because he had a bad day, so I expect to see good things from him yet. He did have a string of bad luck today, but he's come back from bad days before. He's a professional, and smart, and I'm sure he'll do the right thing (i.e. support Levi, or whatever is determined to be the best approach for the team).
I was REALLY happy to see Schleck take the win today. If Lance can't pull it off (and I really don't know if he can or not, but he can certainly place pretty high), Andy Schleck is one of the people I'd like to see in there. I was really pleased to see him drop Contador. If he could just improve his time-trialling, he'd be a real force.
