Good and iuntersting stage today in the dauphine. mencho wins by a 1/2 wheel length over Moreau. Moreau is an interesting guy. he is good for one or two great stage perfromances in every big tour he is in and then he usually stinks it up in a couple of others and so never quite meets his apparent potential.

Leipheimer was third and took over the overall lead. He openly stated that he wants to win this race to show his form for the TdF.

I didn't se the stage, so it is hard to know what happened, but lANDIS MUST HAVE CRACKED AS HE FINISHED 9:30 back. That is trerribloe and may mean that he spent too much on the ITT tog et his good result there.

Gorgeous George H. and my favoritre Valverde were both top 20 finishers.

Hard to read too much into this, as ventoux has always been a tough stage that has created strange results.
