Tour de France, stage 13
July 15th, 2005
Filed under: General
A flat sprinter’s stage today. Minimal change in the overall standings with Lance Armstrong retaining the overall points lead and yellow jersey. Tomorrow will be an exiciting stage as the Tour returns to the mountains.
If Lance Armstrong is going to lose the Tour, it will be in the next two days. Armstrong’s Discovery Channel Team lost one of its best climbers when Manual Beltran dropped out, and Alexandre Vinokourov (one of Armstrong’s strongest rivals) has publicly stated he plans on going on an early offensive in the mountains.
