I had it totally wrong. I had Andy Schleck as my secret favourite this year, he totally blew it. I tried to find out what happened in Hautacam, here his story as combined from several sources in Luxembourg (TV, Luxembourgish speaking paper, French speaking paper):
"I didn't feel well already in the morning. In Tourmalet, I could still follow the best, but I made a huge mistake at the beginning of Hautacam. I hadn't thought the pace would be that strong (thanks Voigt, my comment :o) ). Then I didn't eat properly, and the last 5,000 metres were a nightmare. I must have lost 1' per km to the favourites.
I am learning. I am not worried, because I am only 23, and I want to come back later and win this. I am very happy for Frank. I feel very well, and I am in fantastic shape. I simply made a mistake in Hautacam. Now, I will totally work for the guys. Plus, I would like to win a stage. I will not necessarily wait for the Alps. With the CSC tactics, I might join a group of escaped riders in the following days."

Other comment given by Schleck daddy Johny:
"Frank is the anxious of the family, Andy is super cool. After a few days, he told me "baah, this just a race like any other race. Fist time Frank cam to Tour de France, he "vouvoyait" (to say "vous", French polite form towards other person) other riders."
