Schleck, the Merckxist

Two remarkable Alpine stages at the Tour - like in good old times. Yesterday Andy Schleck's brave solo ride on the Col du Galibier outclassing his opponent Contador, today Contador's sudden counterattack at famous Alpe d'Huez.

Contador almost made it after an awesome solo performance, but was intercepted on the last kilometre by Sánchez, now in the Mountain Jersey, and the winning Rolland.

Andy Schleck however won the Maillot Jaune today! And I am curious to see if he is able to carry it straight to Paris.
