What a day!

Although I couldn’t watch the Tour live, I followed closely via the TdF webiste and cyclingnews.com. It was an incredible day! I feel bad for Floyd, but when you have just one bad day in the Tour, it can be disastrous. Ask Alex Zuelle or Jan Ullrich.
Who do you pick now? Can Periero wear the maillot jaune into Paris? Can Sastre, Kloden, Menchov or Evans put any time into Periero tomorrow? My guess is not enough to make the ITT on Saturday decisive. In the ITT in stage 7, Kloden, Menchov or Evans finished roughly together, about 30 seconds up on Sastre and a minute on Pereiro. That would not be enough time to disloge the jersey from Periero unless they take back some time tomorrow.
Has this been a great Tour or what?
