Who does Lance have with him besides Horner? Team-wise, I mean.

Just Horner. The rest of RS stayed with the Peleton to protect Levi.

Also two Lotto riders in the group, then 4 one offs.

Lance is riding at the back of the group right now, next to the RS car talking to Johan Brunneal. Horner drops back, they are definately planning something.

16:46 - Hushovd In The Hunt For Five Points

Thor Hushovd began today’s stage just two points shy of the green jersey. He tried an attack on the second climb of the day but then retreated to the peloton. He is the only sprinter who has been able to maintain contact with the yellow jersey’s group. If he wins the sprint for 10th place, he will take five points and regain the green jersey.
