Massive day today. Look for the top ten to be transformed if not in personnel then time gaps. Expect lots of lone breaks too. Someone like Chavanel might have a go today.

Today is the day of the Schlecks, this is where they tie up this race between them.

A quite unbelievable performance from Andy Schleck today.

If he doesn't win the tour after that there is no justice in this world.

Stunning.
It's down to the time trial then.

How much time do you reckon Schelck will need on Evans going into the time trial Dave?

About a minute and half?

What a great day and congratulations to The Schlecks, Evans and especially Voeckler for making it the best Tour for years.

What a great day yesterday. Looking forward to another one today. Pleased Contador looks out of it, don't mind who wins now.

More than that to be safe, it remains to be seen if Andy Schleck has got the legs to attack up Alpe d'Huez after yesterday's exertions but I reckon he needs another 45 seconds. The Schleck's are going to have to work together to try to break Evans.
Voeckler's not a bad time triallist you know, if he can just hang on for one more stage.

I don't reckon even the organisers thought that the time trial could decide the winner.

Congrats to Mark Cavendish on being the first UK winner of the Green Jersey (and on winning the final stage once more)

Superb performance from Cavendish and the HTC Team, three straight wins in Paris is a tremendous achievment and it never looked in doubt yesterday.

I've really enjoyed the coverage of this year's tour.
