Predictions, will Hincapie go for the win or hold back to help Lance?

Sevilla attacks, Pereiro counters, Boogerd brings Hincapie back, Caucchioli and Brouchard distanced.

Periero takes the front for Boogerd and Hincapie, dropping Sevilla.

Hincapie has been told to win. He could hardly help Lance at the pace Lance is currently/and *gasp* will be riding with Basso and ullrich -- he'd just get in the way.

Basso & Armstrong riding together, Ullrich about 10 seconds behind; Basso in virtual 2nd overall.

Basso tries again but Lance is there. 7 min to the leaders.

Lance/Basso closing - now 6:36 (too little, too late for a stage win, but just in time to bury Rasmussen and Ulrich)

Biggest danger to Armstrong is the crowd, but he's riding on Basso's wheel in good position.

Hincapie responds to Pereiro's break. This is Hicapie's finest moment. Hope he wins.

Motorbike camera tracking the leaders ran over a spectator. Spectator got up under his own power.
