First big mountain stage and Lance and and a couple of others blew up the field as a whole. Is Rasmussen the only contender left? Today was the first time on this tour Lance challenged Rasmussen on a climb. Basso is nearly 3 minutes behind, Ullrich and Kloden are over 4 minutes back, and Vinokourov is 6 and a half back minutes back.
There are still 5 mountain stages to go.
