Anarchy reigned supreme again at the Tour de France as the pave’ may have dashed the hopes for many of the Tour’s favorites.

The best bet it to not read FR when you have something you don't want spoiled.
Usually, there is a spoiler alert.

Yes, Lance still has a chance.Cadel is the big winner today but he is the worst climber. Andy is in great position but if Lance has some legs he and Alberto can burn up a few contenders.Lance will loose time to Alberto in the Mts but maybe not too much.It’s a sad thing about the crashes but this tour is shaping up to be a GREAT FIGHT because of how they are all positioned now!
I’m getting complaints both ways...
