Tour ITT
I was pretty happy to see Sastre defend his yellow jersey against Evans in the ITT on Sat. He and CSC/Saxo Bank made a race of it and I would have been disappointed to see that not pan out for them. Obviously, they were the strongest team in the tour. Evans never really impressed me, but the Schleck boys sure did. It was awesome to see Frank in yellow. His TT was sorta flat though, but not quite as bad as his boss, Bjarne Riis, pulled in 1997. Enjoy his tour meltdown below.

Evans always seemed, I don't know, whiny and perturbed?
The Schleck brothers are annoying in that they consistently looked so comfortable and relaxed climbing, like they could pull out the Sunday Times (or Luxemburger Wort, as it may be) and multitask on the way up Alp d'Huez.

For sure he seemed whiny and pissed. Have you seen all the YouTube videos up highlighting his outbursts to the media. I'd say Sastre had the mental edge in the third week if nothing else.

I saw the videos, and, yeah, not exactly endearing stuff.
