The next week of the Tour will pretty much go as follows: Nocentini will keep the yellow courtesy of Astana. The real race will start with the ITT and the Alps. This could all come down to Mont Ventoux on the second to last day. It is going to take all the other teams working together to have any hope of breaking Astana's apparent stranglehold on the race. Cadel's move today showed a bit of brashness, but there is no way anyone on Astana is going to let him go and with only one tt left in the race, he is pretty much sunk. Wiggins and Vande Velde could make things interesting, but I don't think that will happen until the Alps. I think Armstrong will try to gain time on Contador in the time trial and then shadow him in the mountains. Contador will have to attack hard on the steeps to dislodge people, but he will also have to count on Armstrong riding the team "plan" and not chasing his own teammate. Still up in the air as to how this rivalry is going to play out.
