Tour de France, stage 18
July 21st, 2005
Filed under: General
A mostly flat stage with a few good hills. Jan Ullrich gained about 30 seconds on third place Michael Rasmussen (setting up a time trial show down for third place) and Alexander Vinokurov lost the position he gained yesterday, and almost everybody lost a little more time to Lance Armstrong.
Tomorrow is another flat stage with a few hills. Honestly, I don’t expect much excitement until Saturday’s time trial.
