I think they just might force the rest of the T-Mobile team into picking it up just a little, which would cause the maillot jaune to get squirted out the back of the peloton.
Maillot jaune dropped.
Landis and teammate Pena (another former US Postal team guy) have moved to the front of the peloton.
Dessell Crests first again followed closely by Mercado. All that is left now is the run into Pau. Gonna be an interesting looking GC when this stage is over.
