It became very apparent that Astana don't have the depth to support a yellow jersey this year, did anyone even see an 'Astana train' yesterday?

No, those only come out after transfu... I mean rest days.

Stage 18 is ideal for Meintjes to take time back on Thomas.

You probably mean Yates, he already has a week on Thomas ;-)

Catching up with Louis Meintjes yesterday at the start in Saint-Girons.

There is absolutely no extra weight on him!

Only watched yesterday's stage this morning. Feeling disappointed in Meintjes losing more time on Yates, even if he gained a place in the GC standings.

 

What happened to Landa in the last 500 meters? It seems he free wheeled to the finish and didn't show interest in the stage win.

He was waiting for his team leader

Frustrated today watching The Cheese. Unable to press the attack close to the top when Yates fell off, then allowed Yates to come back on the down, then fell asleep and let Yates get away on the flat. Yesterdays HARD earned few sec's wiped with a much easier downish break. Eish.

Yes was shouting at the tv big time...that last 500m to the top and first couple of k's on the way down was critical..The other riders had a bit of a slowdown and that allowed Yates to get back on..Meintjes just had to go to the front for 5min max and that could have been it for Yates.

Me thinks Sky needs to start worrying about Uran..only rival that can possibly have a big day on the TT bike.If he somehow gets time 30 or 40 sec in the Alps he can win this thing.

Some pics from Thursdays Stage 12  . . . .

 

Find a spot with a view. We were on a climb on the route but we could also see down across a field to where they would come from.

Set up Camp

Wait for the Publicity Caravan to come through so you can get "free stuff" - we got loads :-)

The Caravan . . . continued.

 

When the race came through I didn't try and take photo's. I left the camera videoing and concentrated on shouting. Will post some video links later :-)
