Tour de France, day 6
July 7th, 2005
Filed under: General
A long rainy day with another spectacular crash at the end that wiped out several sprinters and France’s favorite son. Alexandre Vinokourov finished well, gaining a time bonus which pushed him up to 3rd overall. Meanwhile, Americal Dave Zabriske — who at one point wore the yellow jersey — fell far behind. His crash two days ago must have hurt him more than he let on. Lane Armstrong continues to hold the lead.
Tomorrow: Long and mostly flat, but a few hills. Rain is likely.
