Valverde dropped oin Le Tourmalet
Valverede drops 50 seconds to Yellow at the top of Tourmalet. SO much for my prediction. He ha s not looked strong enough to do it this year. Evans is still looking good. VandeVelde has been remarkable. Go Vande.

It looks like he's gotten back 25 of those seconds. Vande is looking good. And your beloved French may get another stage win on Bastille Day.
Vive la France! They're not so bad.

Vande Velde moves into third overall. This is why the whole drug thing sucks. People are going to question what is he on and how did he get here.

Or maybe they will say that if unaided he has actually been the best american rider over the last decade or so.

But Garmin's whole schtick is the un-aided rider. Just kick the football, you big round-headed kid.
