In what looked to have the makings of an epic stage full of sound and fury, today's jaunt to Andorra was remarkably unspectacular. Sure Contador threw down an accelleration at the end, but realistically this was the Cat. 5 city limit sprint blindside moment of the Tour. Armstrong stated that it wasn't part of the plan but he didn't expect Contador to follow the plan, while Bruyneel said there was no plan. That kind of muddle doesn't bode well. But Kloden sure did stay up there and could still pull the you-guys-have-the-measuring-contest-while-I-go-win-this-thing attack up his sleeve. Sad to say, but Armstrong has brought both drama and dullness to this Tour. Astana pulled it out the tried and true playbook and set tempo at the front, daring anybody to try and attack. Poor Evans hasn't figured out he's already dead. One small light shines in the Garmin bunch as both Wiggins and Vande Velde held up on the stage with Zabriskie doing decent climbing duty for a good part of the day.
