THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING
It's still 5 minutes to second place. Wrap it up. Everyone else looks like Cat 5.

Can anyone confirm if Cadel got lapped on the last climb?

great finish though. how to get a burst of energy like that at the end of everything they did is amazing.

He picked up another minute or so on cantador who cant seem to even keep up with Froome's maid.

they really need to do something about the fans. it seems to me like its getting worse and worse for those guys to power through with half naked guys, spider man, other outrageous costumes, and everyone with their iPhone trying to video that they are sprinting and cutting in front of the riders.

TeeJay worked hard yesterday, extremely hard, and its shame the mechanical made him use so much energy to get back up front.

He made more mistakes aside from the mechanical. Why attack on the first time up the alpe so you are all alone for the rest? He also attacked to early on the second time up. Still a good performance but it is making rookie mistakes and he isn't a rookie anymore.

What local time does versailles stage start??? I can't find that info.
Here you go Manny, from the TdF website:

The 100th Tour de France requires a fitting finale and the city of lights will be lit up for an evening showdown for the sprinters for a stage that begins at 5.45pm and is expected to conclude at around 9.30pm. The race from Versailles to Paris is 133.5km long and features 10 laps of a circuit up and down the Champs-Elysées. The traditional circuit features an innovation never before done since the race first concluded on this famous avenue in 1975: instead of turning in front of the Arc de Triomphe, the peloton will race around the Place de Etoile.

I'm going through TdF withdrawals. Closing ceremony was great.

The TV coverage of the TdF was not good, especially the evening coverage. Way to many commercials. Granted that some of the riding was just boring but they could have provided more bios on the riders and teams. They could have explained and analyzed what goals teams have and why. The stars are the stars but wouldnt it be interesting to learn a little about some of the domestiques and how how they got there.

Robert Role (Bob Roll) was good.
