Le Tour de France July 14 2006

Today's stage winner - Popovych, Ukrainian, from Discovery. He started the day 23rd, 9' behind the yellow jersey.

I wondered how his pride could allow him to stay so far back. He's now 10th, 4'15" back.

Hincapie attempted a few escapes as well.

And Discovery lost 2 team members as well.

They miss Lance. And I don't see the peloton allowing Popovych another escape in the race.

Floyd Landis remains in yellow.

Happy Bastille Day!
