Caught this VID elsewhere... Some Froome and Contador activities.

Maybe start around 17 or 18 minutes in.

Yes, the previous stage as well was a mountaintop finish and really great viewing - though I wish that someone would stuff a rag in Carlton Kirby's mouth to shut him up. I have absolutely no idea why Eurosport think that he's a good cycling commentator.

February? They are riding HARD so early in the season. The climbers never crush like that this early in the season.

Ever since Bert raced on with a broken femur I have a new found respect for him. Both guys gave everything they had for such a little race.

I don't think the announcers where bad at all. Phil is all twisted up and sometimes has no idea what is going on these days.

I can't wait to see if Chris Horner picks up as an announcer. He would be great. He is very articulate and comes across and extremely smart. He would catch the little things that many of the announcers miss.

It could be a very interesting season.

How long can that little machine stay out of the saddle, that is a little freaky...

Exciting race. It's amazing that Contodor and Froome, too, are in that good of form early in the season, to recover quickly, and kick @ss the next day. It appears they left the other climbers for dead in that last stage.

Yowza! That was fun to watch! Okey, it's only February, but stuff like that can get me back into the mood to watch bike racing again!

"Yowza! That was fun to watch" "get me back into the mood to watch bike racing again"

Same effect here. ;)
