15KM from the base of Tourmalet. Saxo Bank has moved toward the front of the peleton and is beginning to ramp up the pace a little.
This climb is the entire tour. Andy Schleck must put a minimum of one minute, and ideally two minutes to have any chance of holding the lead in Saturday’s TT.
We will know in about an hour who this years champion will be.
LOL... It’s good to be the king! Pres. Sarkozy is in the Director’s car at the front of the Peleton - he gets a front row seat for all the action.
