TdWTF?

So far, it's turning out to be the Tour de Surprises. Schumacher? Who would have predicted that? Nobody in the FGBC TdF Pool, evidently. He doesn't appear on a single roster. Kirchen in 2nd place was a big surprise too. Millar wanted it bad and came real close, but has to settle for 3rd. Evans confirms that he's the man to beat. Menchov restores some of what he lost yesterday. And Valverde disappointed big time, especially after showing some good ITT form in the Dauphine. Cunego and Sastre, on the contrary, kept it closer than expected, but still conceded some big time. The good news is that this likely sets the stage for some serious attacking in the mountains. But first the sprinters finally get their chance to play. Tomorrow's stage is about as flat as they come.

Bacon Wrapped Hot Dogs takes the stage win, and the Frequent Flyers regain the lead in the GC.
