All depends on tonight's time trial imo...Evans needs to smash Sastre in that.

only one stage left after the TT, and no one EVER gains time in that, so it's an understatement to suggest that tonight decides everything (from the yellow jersey perspective that is).

And he needs 95 seconds.......go cadel

Cadel should be able to take it out. Can't see Sastre getting within 95 seconds in a long TT such as this.

Yeah, there's an unwritten rule that you don't race for the win on the last day.

Go cadel, the only motivation he needs tonight is the 23 seconds he lost last years tour by. i cant see it happening to him this year.

The fact that it's a lengthy time-trial plays right into Evans' hands. Sastre is great in the mountains, but is (more or less) useless in time-trials, so the fact he has to deal with one which is longer than usual suggests he is set to drop more time than usual. CSC weren't too smart, looking satisfied with a 94 second gap. I'm estimating Cadel's time will be about 2min10sec better than what Sastre offers up. Then tomorrow night comes the victory procession.
