Le Tour 2006: Up and up and up they’ll go
Stage 10 was the first mountain stage of this year’s Tour. And what a Tour it has become.
There are no clear favorites, yet, and today’s stage produced a long breakaway with the finishers climbing right up the podium and into contention for the maillot jaune.
I think the main contenders (Landis, Hincapie, Kloden) let today’s break gain too much time. They are minutes off the lead. It may be too much to regain that and today we may have seen the winner of the Tour.
Tomorrow more climbing!
