Letour.fr is now calling it the "Kloden/Landis group"

LAndis is leading the descent/chase. Won't be long until they catch De La Fuente, he is struggling, looks like he shot his load on this last climb. He will have his moment in Polka Dots tonight, but that will be all.

I saw that, BaBa!

The peleton, now being smoked by the poursuivants, is called 'Hincapie's group'.

luv2ski, where are you & your TiVo? About 2 climbs back? ;>)
