Scuse me. That's wrong. 'Bout 4'5" back? Gee, I wish Ready4Freddy & Baba would get outta bed. I stink at this multitasking stuff (7X Champion of the Tour de Klutz here.)

Wow, are you sure. That's not good news for Landis(who I believe is with the peleton)

I think they just showed Landis and Periero together.

Don't slight yourself, it's hard keeping track of all this.

I can just imagine what the guys in the excape are /were saying to Popovych - like Sclenk yesteday, they're probably none too pleased that he's up there.

The riders are just so happy to see the other side of all of these hills, they can't control themselves.

Even tho Chavanel got back on, he might not be good enough to ride (slammed hard into concrete wall, got med treatment & new bike,but doesn't look so hot, taking it easy.)

The peloton is 6’35" behind Rasmussen, Casar and Valjavec at the 80km mark. Sebastian Lang (GST) has attacked the peloton and is 6’10" behind the leading trio.
