Has there been one ? I haven't seen it..
Anyway, Cav struggling today, looks like his efforts in the sprints (he even contested the intermediates yesterday) are going to see him end up finishing behind the peloton as he's going backwards rapidly..
Levi Leipheimer has dropped out after breaking his wrist yesterday, Armstrong is gutted apparently, whether thats because its his mate or because its one less astana rider to drag him through the mountains I'm not sure, both possibly.
Carlos Sastre has been pretty quiet up to now but had this to say this morning "We're finally getting to some terrain that's more favorable to my characteristics. We'll see what happens, even if it doesn't see any big changes. It's going to be harder than people think. After all these days of heat, the stage is over steep roads, sharp descents, high speeds."
I was looking forward to the GC leaders attacking each other in the mountains today, hasn't happened - they must be saving it for another day, roll on Mont Ventoux !
