Programming note: I fell a little bit behind on watching the Tour, so this morning I’ll post the review of yesterday’s stage, and I’ll try to get to Stage 14 by tonight. Don’t worry, though, I’m definitely watching the first Alpine stage live tomorrow morning.
For all the action in stage 13, there wasn’t any change to the overall standings. Saxo Bank showed that they’re serious about winning the race, and Lance Armstrong proved that he’s still one of the top riders in the race.
Out front, Henrick Hauser looked dominant spanking the field, and Brice Felliu showed that he’s someone to watch for the rest of this Tour and probably for years to come.
Rider of the Day
Hauser started a great breakaway, then successively broke the back of more and more riders to take the stage walking away.
Reasons I Love the Tour #14 - The Autobus
On mountain stages, the riders who aren’t strong enough to keep up with the peloton form a group and cruise slowly into the finish. Today, Mark Cavendish, Tom Boonen, and some other sprinters today came in 15 minutes after the leaders with the autobus. Look for even more riders in the autobus starting Sunday in the Alpine stages.
