This year's Tour de France continues to provide great sporting action and just maybe today we learnt that Contador is the man who will lead Astana, but then tomorrow may be all will change again!
The Brits continue to show prominently with Millar making a brave break and only being chased down with a kilometre to go yesterday. Cavendish came past him in the main peloton and whilst he didn't have enough energy to challenge Hushovd for the stage victory he did enough to retain his Green Jersey. He is yet to cross the line as I write this but he should retain that jersey again till tomorrow and maybe beyond as it is another mountain stage tomorrow.
However, the real British story was that Bradley Wiggins finished with all of the major contenders only 20 seconds behind Contador and is now up to fifth overall and his hopes of a top 15 finish for the whole tour is looking very real - why not aim higher Bradley!
The big story tomorrow will be whether Armstrong starts to ride for Contador now or really believes that he can win still win as he is only two seconds behind his teammate.
