Yes, I vividly recall "chain-gate" last year. If Andy can put in a similar performance tomorrow, he'll have the yellow jersey through to Paris. If Andy has a bad day tomorrow, Cadel Evans could pull it out in the time trial, but this isn't Contador's year.

I have enjoyed the heart that Volkler has shown over the last 10 days. Cavendish, the "Manx Missile", is impressive on the sprint finishes, though I'd really like to see Tyler Farrar beat him to the line every once and a while.

The crashes in the early stages were pretty crazy this year, especially when the TV car sideswiped those 2 riders in the breakaway.
