TDF Stage 9
Cadel, Cadel all hail for Cadel has made his mark.
The final day in the Alps has seen the top GC boys rip into each other at last. With no real time gains in the top six. I gotta take my hat off to Juan Mauricio Soler Hernandez from team Barloworld, what a day in the mountains he took off and left the lead break away for dead. Valverde and Cantador are looking good at this stage. I was impressed to see Cadel go after Cantador but was unable to stay with him to the summit. It didn’t matter in the end as Cadel stormed home for a 3rd on the day behind Valverde.
As the 54km TT is on Saturday I’m looking forward to it as this might be the point where Cadel could move into yellow. It’ll be a tough few days in the office as The Pyrenees start on Sunday. The next few days are going to long and fast with the usual break aways.
