Re: 2007 tour de france
Hell of a stage today... four man break early on in the stage, which was very nicely ridden down with a lot of teams taking control to reel them in on the last climb...
Great sprint to the finish too... Cancellara managed to hold on to the yellow during a stage many thought he would lose the yellow *not a great climber* and he rode a very nice race, almost losing control on the descent to the finish...
Vinokourov, one of the pre-race favorites got in a crash and was totally out of the race until almost his whole team came back to try to bring him back to the peloton... with some road rash on the back of his right thigh and elbow he managed to lose 1:30 which is a huge amount to spot the leaders, but it really could've been worse and he rode incredibly hard to finish that close to the field... he rode the kind of race that shows why the Tour is so fun to watch determination and teamwork are the two biggest keys to success out there with so little between the best riders out there...
