Voeckler isnt my fave to win, but dang....he sure does deserve to wear that jersey for another day. What a champ.
Spoiler alert....Contador ate his Wheaties this morning. Go Andeeeeeeee!She's going the distance...

What a brilliant and surprising (sort of) finish!
So happy for the lad!
And the French!
And "CHAPEAU" to Voekler as well!

I have the day off and the TV is on. Granted I'm not watching the live feed - so when I turned the TV on for the 1st replay I saw the end of Stage 19, then about 15 min later the delay feed actually started with the warm-up ride at the start.
So now I get to see what actually happened!Beth

Wow, wow! I'm sad that Contador did not take the stage today, but, as Phil Ligget might say, he really dug deep into his 'suitcase of courage'. Helmet off to him! I am guessing he will be the most combative rider of today. And he probably will still be among the top 5. Can't wait to see the replay this evening.

Tweets from David Millar (@millarmind) re: today's stage.
Bernie Eisel & I formed an eternal bond today. We were off the back on our own within the first few km's of Telegraph. Seemed Game Over.
We'd each have good & bad patches. During one of my bad patches I told Bernie just to go, 'Davie, we go home together, or Paris together.'
Camaraderie transcends teams on occasions, that was one of them.
Mind you, he scared the bajesus out of me on the descent of the Galibier.

It's Contador. Now Andy. Wait, it's Cadel. Now Contador. Sanchez, no Frank. I'm exhausted from watching
I was cheering against my own rider at one point. Sorry Andy. Love ya

Ok, so I have been dying all day to read the posts. I am at work and will go home and watch the tour on the DVR. But it is killing me. Especially after yesterday and I must admit I am one of those "ABC" fans (Anyone but Contador--sorry!). So since I cannot read the posts for fear of spoilers I quickly scrolled to the bottom so I could post...since I was dying to come to this thread.
Can't wait to get home and start the DVR, then I can check out everyone's postings. I can't believe it is almost over. I will go thru serious withdrawal... I mean SERIOUS!
