SPOILER - Overall Standings after Stage 20
The Tour is effectively over. If the gap were 0:20 or so I could see some riders trying to bridge that gap in Paris. But Carlos Sastre and the CSC team have cemented their win.
Unless Sastre falls and breaks something, the 2008 version of the Tour de France has been wrapped up.

SPOILER - Time Trial Winner - Stage 20
HOLY MOSES!
Evans gained only marginally on Sastre in the Stage 20 Time Trial and Carlos Sastre will go on to win the Tour de France. His decisive win in the Alpe d'Huez stage set him up to take the Yellow Jersey in Paris.
While Sastre lost 2:34 to Schumacher - the stage winner - he held off the rest of the guys around him and will likely win the Tour by 1:05 tomorrow.
Cadel Evans is going to - barring any disasters tomorrow - be on the podium in second place for the second year in a row.
Here are the standings of the Stage 20 time trial...
The finishing times are REALLY tight. Only a gap of 11:00 between first and last. Wow.

Evans gained only marginally on Sastre in the Stage 20 Time Trial and Carlos Sastre will go on to win the Tour de France. His decisive win in the Alpe d'Huez stage set him up to take the Yellow Jersey in Paris.
While Sastre lost 2:34 to Schumacher - the stage winner - he held off the rest of the guys around him and will likely win the Tour by 1:05 tomorrow.
Cadel Evans is going to - barring any disasters tomorrow - be on the podium in second place for the second year in a row.
Here are the standings of the Stage 20 time trial...
The finishing times are REALLY tight. Only a gap of 11:00 between first and last. Wow.

Stage 19 Overview, Picks and Comment
It's only 163KM and has a couple short climbs. So today's 19th stage will only be dangerous for the leaders if riders take it upon themselves to snatch the win right here and right now.
Based on the standings, the only people I see trying to do that are Kim Kirchen and Denis Menchov. Both have the power to go and stay away. Kirchen could do very well in the time trial and Menchov will just need to get four minutes ahead to reach the podium on Sunday.
That's what I see happening.
Sadly, it looks like George Hincapie won't be able to make up an hour and eight minutes on Sastre today.
C'est la vie.
Oh, the stage goes from Roanne to Montlucon.

SPOILER - Overall Standings After Stage 18
Even though Burghardt finished about six minutes ahead of the pack, the standings didn't change much. Oh, around Burghardt they did. He moved from 134th all the way up to 123rd. OK. He didn't do much damage to Carlos Sastre or the others because they all finished together.
As for poor Cunego, he only dropped to 20th position. But so close to top 10 and now NOT.
Here's how they stand after 18 stages of the 2008 Tour de France.

SPOILER - SASTRE WINS
He's blasted the pack and won his second stage in the Tour de France. His first occurred in 2003.
Nice work Carlos. You've put two minutes into the field and might just hang on for a few stages or even to Paris.
What about your time trialing ability? Hmmmmmm. That could be the clincher or could give Evans back the yellow on the Champs-Elysees.
Complete standings shortly.

SPOILER - 1KM TO GO
Sastre is only 1KM from the finish. The CSC rider is going to win this stage.
Results and standings in a few moments.
Results and standings in a few moments.
SPOILER - 3KM to go in Stage 17
Sastre is still ahead - now by 2:20 - with only 3KM to go.
At this pace he's smashing the top five and will be the seventh yellow jersey wearer of this year's Tour.
Evans is trying to eat into that time by pedaling furiously, but it's not reeling Sastre back yet.

SPOILER - 5KM left in the race
The other post was a little premature as the peloton and Sastre had a few KM to go before hitting the first of 21 bends in the vicious Alpe d'Huez ascent. He's now 5KM from the finish and looks to have the race well in hand. As long as he doesn't crack on the mountain.
Race radio tells me that Sastre has a lead of 1:50 over the field and that puts him 1:01 ahead of Schleck and 1:03 or so ahead of Evans.
This was unexpected. Not as unexpected as KFC sauceless hot wings, but still kinda whacky.

SPOILER - The Situation on Alpe d'Huez
On the mountain it looks like we will have a change AGAIN in the yellow jersey.
Before even mounting the Alpe d'Huez, Sastra was 0:48 ahead of the peloton and not slowing. If he wins the stage, it will be his second of the 2008 TDF and will put him in the lead.
He started the day behind by 0:49. In the time it took me to write this he has built his lead to 0:55.
Where is George?????

Out of Bourg d'Oisans and on to Alpe d'Huez
The low level slopes of Alpe d'Huez are ahead of the peloton. There are two riders ahead - Sastre and Pineau.
With the scant lead Sastre has, he could be the overall leader if he finishes with the same gap he possesses now.
The rest of my info will be in SPOILER form and won't show up here until after 9PM tonight.
Oh, Saab word of the day is coming.

SPOILER - Top 10 in Stage 10
Others haven't arrived yet - as I type this - but here are the top 10. Missing are Kim Kirchen (YIKES) and George Hincapie (bummer) among others.
Top 10 in stage 10.
1. Leonardo Piepoli (ITA) SDV - 156km in 4h19’27"
2. Juan Jose Cobo (ESP) SDV - at same time
3. Frank Schleck (LUX) CSC at 28"
4. Bernhard Kohl (AUT) GST at 1’06"
5. Vladimir Efimkin (RUS) ALM at 2’05"
6. Riccardo Ricco (ITA) SDV at 2’17"
7. Carlos Sastre (ESP) CSC at 2’17"
8. Cadel Evans (AUS) SIL at 2’17"
9. Denis Menchov (RUS) RAB at 2’17"
10. Christian Vande Velde (USA) TSL at 2’17"
It looks like it will be Cadel Evans in Yellow to start tomorrow's stage 11. But I'll have to recheck some standings when they come out. I'm typing this as the stage unfolds, so I don't know what the overall standings are yet. And Kim Kirchen has yet to cross the line.

SPOILER - 10KM to go
This is ridiculous. There are attacks all over the place on an uphill finish!
Right now - reading and watching - I've found that...
There are 20 seconds between five riders at the front (including Frank Schleck who was caught by some other riders) and Cadel Evans, Sastre, Duenas Nevado, Menchov and Ricco.
Looks like I was right to keep Denis Menchov on my fantasy team. But Ricco is killing me!
More in a second. They're only 10KM out, as I said.

Stage 10 Overview, Picks and Comment
Stage 10 is only 156KM long, but is tough tough tough.
It climbs over the Tourmalet and has a mountaintop finish as well.
There are a handful of climbs in the stage, but two of them are hors category and one is the Col du Tourmalet (as mentioned) that takes place about halfway through the stage.
If you've got a climber on your fantasy team, you're in the money. Make your picks based on who is the best climber in the race. That's why I think I'll go with Oscar Pereiro or Carlos Sastre.
Gimme your choices.
And I seem to be a broken record, but I'm sure one of these stages HAS to break the GC wide open. We'll see if two hors category Pyrenees climbs will do it.
