Today was supposed to be the day that Andy Schleck took back what was rightfully his. For him to look at Alberto Contador and ask him to dance on the Pyrenees. Sadly, none of that happened. Looks like it's going to come down to the ITT. With Schleck being the Luxembourg National Time Trial Champion, edge goes to him.
The most entertaining event today was Lance Armstrong. Today was with out a doubt his strongest showing, finishing strong and almost winning today. In other news, Thor is back in green.
