getting the chase group to yoyo for the first 10k of the Alpe.

Evans didn't figure out what they were doing to him until Sastre had 2
minutes.

CSC might not win it at the end since they can't TT, but if they do,
it'll have been a rare true team victory.

dumbass,

csc rode to lose. f schleck was their best bet to win. even though
sastre rode a better TT this tour then schleck, historically schleck
is better. sastre with 2 mins on evans is still less of a threat than
schleck would be with one minute more.

evans did exactly the right thing, he marked the biggest threats until
3.5 km to go and then limited his losses to sastre.

if sastre was so strong he should have been used to set a hard pace on
the lower slopes to crack evans - though f schleck might not have been
able to drop him anyways.

Hysterically, Sastre finished ahead of F.Schleck in all 5 TdF ITTs in
which both of them participated.
