Ignatiev's shown some great willingness to attack. If he can keep it up, his opportunities might come in the stages before the final showdown on Ventoux. I was also impressed by Gesink’s finish.

Cancellara definitely is talking big about being able to hang and keep the Yellow. If he can survive Friday, and nothing insane happens over the weekend he may have a chance to gain time again during the TT... maybe. And yes, I've never been a fan of Voeckler for all the same reasons. But I always was amused by Durand - he tried so many times it started getting a little silly. "There goes Durand again!" Today though, I was impressed with his determination and grit in pushing the break and then surviving several attacks before dropping the others. Then, to again survive the peleton's surge was quite impressive. Probably many were surprised that he actually made it. Saved Bboxes Tour with this victory. (LOL, I'm watching the finale for the 3rd time today right now) Gesink is my hero of the day for finishing with a cracked wrist. He didn't give up and that is worthy of much respect.
