Stage 13 – Yikes
Heinrich Haussler of Germany took the stage and the red numbers with some impressive hustle on a day filled with changes and rain.
Update: Levi Leipheimer of the US didn’t start the stage; he had been running in fourth place overall. [I’ve learned that he broke his wrist in a minor crash at the end of stage 12.]
Franco Pellizotti took back the polka dot jersey from Egoi Martinez, and Thor Hushovd retrieved the green from Mark Cavendish.

It’s going to be harder without Levi to help to block the breakaways.
