The heat may have lulled most of the peloton to sleep, but an assertive Columbia crew meant only an attentive few survived the surge. The biggest beneficiaries of Columbia’s show of force were two men destined for the history books.
Mark Cavendish delivered the goods again. The Manx Missile exploded for another stage win, going back to back.
Lance Armstrong’s always been one of the smartest riders on the road. Today, he used his brain as much as his brawn- staying with the leaders, and in the process, leaping up the overall standings from 10th to 3rd and passing his teammate Alberto Contador.
Fabian Cancellara showed his strength today as well. Single-handedly representing Saxo Bank in the front pack…his reward? The Yellow Jersey for another day. It was an epic day out on the road, but it may just have been an hors d’heurve for the feast of fighting to come.
