That is what Johan said to me.  "The plan worked perfectly, just one thing went wrong, Rasmussen was too strong."  Today, Rasmussen put a pretty big strangle hold on the yellow jersey.  The boys rode perfectly.  Watching the top four contenders riding together up the final climb was a huge thrill.  I was about to jump out of my skin as Contador attacked Rasmussen twice.  Unfortunately Rasmussen was just too strong today.  Looking at it from the other side, it is nice to be in a position to be a little bummed about a 2nd and 3rd place finish on the hardest day in the Tour.  The "Green Team" is now number one in the Team Classification and they are, 2nd, 4th and 9th in the GC.  That is amazing!!!  It is not over yet, going home with the Team Clas sification and two riders on the podium is the goal now, however unlikely it would be amazing if one of those riders was standing on the top step!
