Stage 8, another storming stage! Words could not describe the pain sketched across Chris Sorenson's face during those final kilometres up the Teminillo. Love that saxo Bank Mechanic shouting "Alle Alle"

Suddenly those Ag2r shorts seemed to make a whole lot more sense

From Richie Porte ITW on Pez

[quote]PEZ: Are there any other guys who you chat to regularly as you roll along?
RP: Yeah, different guys all the time, I guess, but there is one guy who has been making a point of seeking me out, and that is Cadel Evans. I really want to say what a great guy Cadel is. Even with all of the stress he is under, he still goes out of his way to find me and have a chat to me and offer me tips and advice. I really appreciate that coming from him and I really have to say that he is a credit to Australian cycling.

Think the ITW was on Tuesday night though!

It was an exciting race. Lots of breakaways that stuck, only a few minutes separating the top few, Arroyo getting all his stuff made pink then immediately losing the jeresey, Vino losing.

They could've made the final TT more exciting by making it longer and spraying down the cobbles with water - see whose mechanics are a sharp as Menchov's.
