16:46 - Landis Back Into Yellow...!
Pereiro is about to take the final turn but he’s already lost over 1’29" to Landis. The American will regain the yellow jersey after the 15th stage.

LOL!!
I told my wife last night that the one thing the French do well is put on a bike race.
So Landis just missed a couple of bonus points/secs by getting nipped for 3rd?
For all of you sprinter fans, the time cutoff for this race will be 52:37.
Where are Kloden/Evans/Sastre? Dessel actually did a pretty good job; no one can say he's wilted yet. And Leipheimer had another good day; too bad about that damned TT early on.
I'm pretty sure the bonus points go well down for the finish.
Had your Excel spreadsheet all ready to go, did you!? :>)
8 second time bonus for finishing 3rd...not that he really needed it to get into yellow today.
Although his lead would have been 8 seconds more.

I love your enthusiasm, leilani!
My mistake - I was confusing the green jersey points at the finish w/ the time bonus.
Landis held his own w/ Kloden, & put ~1'30" on Menchov! Yessss!!!
LOL, and I was thinking that the points go up if the last climb is a Cat 2 or above, think I'm mixing apples / oranges / papayas! LOL
The top 20 on GC now looks like this!
