I kind of hate the unofficial rule amongst the contestants that there should be no attacks on the jerseys during the last stage. Where's the suspense in all of this??

Cavendish is lightning, and that's one for Contador. Damn, its over.
RyanA 2009 Tour de France (stage Paris)
Round and round and round. Let's see if Cav can get a 6th stage win.

A solid 10 minutes, though I can't understand a thing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSJ_kH6vmDc

And that does it. Great race, Schleck and Contador were game, as was Lance. Frank would have had the podium had he rode like stage 17, but tough day!
RyanA Tour de France 2009 (stage 20)
Pelozotti is showing his polka dots! Andy is killing it, Contador can hang, but Frank needs to dig deep. There will be awesome man-hugs after this trecherous climb. 5k never took so long...
RyanA Tour de France 2009 (stage 20)
The quad! Frank, Andy, Lance, and Alberto. Awesome mix battle. Where's Frank?
RyanA Tour de France 2009 (stage 20)
Frank and Andy, when will they fire. Damn, Saxo riders are giving it all... and off the back the pacers go. Attack is on!
RyanA Tour de France 2009 (stage 20)
Sharp left into the moonscape. Oh my god. There are soooo many people, just holy shit. Fukken Epic!
RyanA Tour de France 2009 (stage 20)
Main field is going to be all over the place. Fuck yas, commercial free hour is here. Moon Ventoux!
RyanA Tour de France 2009 (stage 20)
Anticipation for the start of the climb!! Where's mah commercial-free full hour? (a full hour without commercials kekekeke)
RyanA Tour de France 2009 (stage 20)
Looks like a warm windy day at the basin of the beast! Peloton is cranking, Cancellara with the pace. What will Saxo do...
RyanA Tour de France 2009 (stage 20)
Holy shit, the conditions on Ventoux will be maddening. The Wind! Saxo at the front. I don't think the break will last.
michaelrnz sighed at Tour de France 2009
I wish i had time to see this.
RyanA Tour de France 2009 (stage 20)
Fuck yes, Versus is going to do 1 Hour commercial free tomorrow! Man Ventoux looks painful http://is.gd/1KCj4
RyanA 2009 Tour de France (stage 19)
Give it to Cavendish for bringing the heat, great sprint finish and early out. Just as notable, he made it to the line over the little hills and the Cat 2. Team Columbia lived the day.
RyanA 2009 Tour de France (stage 18)
Power of the Yellow. Contador, fantastic! A.Schleck did mighty well to hang onto 2nd. Show goes to Mr. Alberto, holy.
RyanA 2009 Tour de France (stage 18)
The Wiggins threat is manifesting, but Cancellara's time in the final 12km must be amazing; he didn't even have the checks.
RyanA 2009 Tour de France (stage 18)
Contador is so bloody good. But really, who will top Cancellara; it's definitely possible.
RyanA 2009 Tour de France (stage 18)
So all the conteders are off. Contador has a bit to defend, but he's good at the TT. He did place 2nd in the first TT. Crunch time!
RyanA 2009 Tour de France (stage 17)
Very good racing today! Glad to see Frank Shleck get the stage win after that mountain pacing he did for Andy. Without the Shlecks, I don't think Contador would have the gap he has now. TT tomorrow will be very intense!
RyanA 2009 Tour de France (stage 17)
Contador's attack was perhaps a bad move indeed, but the Shleck's don't seem to be able to deal with Alberto. Time gaps! Armstrong Attack!!!
RyanA Tour de France 2009 (stage 17)
The Shleck gang is up to something. A few interesting threads, but I wonder about Wiggins on the next climb.
RyanA Tour de France 2009 (stage 17)
Nasty climb! Confusion! Kicking, we have multiple battles, Frank and Lance, damn. Hawks! Wiggins is the threat, Andy trying to fire, and Frank is gone.
RyanA Tour de France 2009 (stage 17)
Serious attacks coming on the final two C1s, it'll be expected from Saxo on Astana on Garmin. Wiggins will like have the most pressure being the biggest threat on s18. Unpredictable stuff coming.
RyanA Tour de France 2009 (stage 17)
WTF was that a Coca-Cola? He didn't get it open then tossed it in the road. ~_~
RyanA Tour de France 2009 (stage 17)
I wonder what Thor is thinking about what happens on the final two climbs. He'll probably cool down and tag along, though the peloton is going to rip a couple times at pace.
RyanA Tour de France 2009 (stage 17)
Thor, green, mountains. I know, it's quite awkward for a sprinter to be tearing up a mountain stage, but he's a descender. Slip'n'Slide
RyanA Tour de France 2009 (stage 16)
Lance is firing hard! And Frank is keeping on. This is getting intense! "Lance is coming by himself"
RyanA Tour de France 2009 (stage 16)
Wiggens is reserved, but it'd be highly unexpected if he attacked. And Lance attacks!!!
