42 seconds.... Huge win.

Had to feel for Luis Leon Sanchez. Chain broke coming off the ramp then punctured later on. Went on to finish rather than chuck his bike in a ditch and hail a cab back to the hotel.
Cancellara as well. Heart-breaking really, but finished the course and defended his title with dignity. In hindsight he wasn't right, but that's easy to say now.

Great effort by Wiggo and Froomey

If there are any bids for Froome from rival pro teams which are they likely to be?

Froome will stay at sky, cav could well go though

The referee's indecision is final

Which ones? Difficult to think of a 'real' sprinters team out there, certainly in the vein that HTC were

Froomedog is going no where. Sky have as good as promised him next year's tour. I reckon rabobank will come in for cav. His old mate renshaw has bombed this year. He doesn't have the speed need to finish off. Rabobank need to up their win rate as its pretty shoddy.
The only other option would be if specialized pressure one of their teams to do it.

The biggest question is where will JTL be next season. He won't be at a continental team that's for sure!

Here you go. This guy has the potential to blow not just Froome off the mountain , but also Contador!!!!!

Seriously good in the mountains and has been kicking ass this season. All the talk is about where he'll be next season. He won't be at Endura that's for sure!
