Quite a win by Honchar in the TT to give him the yellow jersey
Next closest is Landis, exactly 1 minute behind.

For the first time in a long time, Discovery is in a less than desirable position.

Outstanding performance indeed. With the margin gained, the top 10 for him his easy, since he made it several times in the Giro. Brilliant, the entire T-Mobile team.

Small differences between the favourites: only the pure climbers (Mayo, Simoni, ¿Cunego?) and Leipheimer lost a lot of time, and should be very offensive in the next Pyrenaic stages (since Wednesday).

Landis will have hip replacement surgery after the Tour
Must be quite painful to do the race with such a condition
K.I.K.E.
Power victory for Freire, 2nd for him this TdF, and only with 1 teammate helping again...

something for the French to be happy about - Cyril Dessel grabs the malliot jaune (and the polka dot climber's jersey) after the first mountain stage, with a 2:34 lead
K.I.K.E.
It would be funny to see Mercado doing a Walkowiak.

Very weird Tour so far, before today absolutely no one knew who was actually favorite to win the Tour let alone who was going to win it. Not even after today, dont think Landis will be able to keep his jersey all the way. It's still a long way, and he aint nothing like Lance.

This Tour certainly be the greatest of all time since like almost all of the favorites had to leave, but it certainly allready is the most exciting one of the past 7 years.

Looking forward for more cols :D

K.I.K.E.
I hope to see some serious attacks in les Alpes, not what we saw the last 2 days.

Popovych gets a win for Discovery in Stage 12
too bad Salvodelli has dropped out, as a result of being hit on the head by a spectator yesterday
