he was in trouble, he was all alone in the yellow jersey group, none of his lieutenants made it with him. that was a big tactical mistake that coulda cost him, but didnt.

he couldnt handle the pressure - he felt lance breathing down his neck



if Hincapie/Jose Azevedo/Rubiera/ any DSC guy cannot stay with lance tomorrow in the Jura, this tour will be as tough as his 2003 campaign.

everyone will go all out tomorrow because there is a rest day afterwards

Was letting Voigt go a mistake?

No, it wasn't. It was a well-considered decision by Bruyneel. There is no sense in defending the yellow today. Without the jersey on Tuesday, Discovery is more handsfree. Voigt won't be able to keep up in the rides to Courchevel and Briancon anyway.

BTW, Rasmussen and Rabobank

voigt and christophe moreau wont do anything in the real mountain stages. at least lances teammates stuck with him today and didnt collapse, so its better news for him today, even though he lost the yellow, then yesterday.

David Zabrieksi abandonned the race yesterday, and so did Jan Kirsipuu. The total number of dropouts is 14 out of 189, and we arnt even in the mountains yet.

Sylvain Calzati also abaNDONNEd the race after crashing three times in five days.

That number isn't even that high. I've seen more retirements at this stage in the past.

no, lance just crushed everyone. damn dude. he picked up like 1 minute on basso, more then 2 on ullrich and kloden. this tour de france is over. its just a matter of lance finishing the rest of the race.

Rasmussen isn't a good time trial rider, so this is number seven for Lance.

After finally watching a replay you can see that Kloden was ordered to stay back and help Ullrich. Clearly T-Mobile feels Ullrich is still their man. After the crash in the previous stage, this might have been a mistake.

How strong is Kloeden in a time trial? IIRC, he's not as good as Ullrich, so protecting Ullrich may be a good investment now.

Interestingly enough, Walter Godefroot promised some attacks from T-Mobile the coming days.

They'd better!

But if that's gonna be anything like the last few years, that means Ullrich will attack in the last kilometers and take a whopping 5 seconds back!

I don't expect a whole lot to happen until the weekend.

Since this stage ends on a decent, it doesn't seem like one would be able to attack very well at the end.

Vinokourov wins the stage and takes over a minute back against lance. all the other notables finished with lance.

armstrong is still over four minutes ahead of vino, and maintains the yellow jersey.

Lance had four teammates with him at the finishing line. He looked very relaxed throughout the stage.

yeah, they used azevedo today extensively. hincapie and yaroslav were there also. there was no need to go out there an blow his tires out on the toughest stage of the tour.

they are pretty much done with the alps (only two mountain stages, which is kinda crap. 2.5 i guess if you add the stage before the rest day)

6 guys dropped out today, one guy didnt start, Jens Voigt, the guy who was in first two days ago, came in behind the time cutoff and has been dropped.

the tour has shed 32 people so far, about 15% of its complement. Fasso Bartolo and Lampre have both lost three each, and CSC has lost two (which kinda cramps them, they have less domestiques to protect and go back to bring the food forward)
