Stage 14 – The Race Is On
Sergei Ivanov of Russia took the stage, with Martijn Maaskant of the Netherlands grabbing the red numbers, but two new names entered the top ten: George Hincapie at 2 and Christophe Le Mevel at 5. A break-away couldn’t be reeled in. The leaders are tired and the loss of Levi is really being felt.
The jerseys were static, but AG2R regained the yellow numbers of the leading team.

It’s amazing that the race is still so tight. It should be an exciting finish
.-= ´s last blog ..Henry Allingham RIP =-.
Nicolas Roche was second on the stage and is responsible for the team win, and well as keeping Nocentini in yellow.
Astana is really paying for the loss of Levi, and had better get it in gear if they want someone on the podium.
