Tour de France, stage 11

Alexandre Vinokourov won the second Alp stage of the Tour today; this allowed him to recoup about a minute and a half of the time he lost on yesterday’s stage. Of course, that still leaves him a whopping four and a half minutes behind Lance Armstrong, who retains the overall lead. Other than that, there were few surprises today, with most riders behaving fairly conservatively.

Tomorrow is a hilly stage followed by a flat stage on Friday. On Saturday, the Tour returns to the mountains — this time to the Pyrenees. Don’t expect much excitment or drama until then.
