Re: Tour de France
After winning today’s 180.5km Stage 15 (Valréas to Villard-de-Lans) Lance Armstrong has taken the leader’s Yellow Jersey in the Tour de France. Lance sped ahead of second place Ivan Basso with less than half a kilometer to go in the stage. Spaniard Iban Mayo, a pre-race favorite, dropped out of the race today after having fallen over 38 minutes behind Armstrong through Stage 14.
Tomorrow is a time trial, 15.5km up a mountain (with an average gradient of 7.9%) to the Alpe D’Huez ski station. Here are the top 5 riders overall after Stage 15.
Lance Armstrong 67h 13m 43s
Ivan Basso 1m 25s behind
Andreas Kloden 3m 22s behind
Francisco Mancebo 5m 39s behind
Jan Ullrich 6m 54s behind
