Rest Day
It is a rest day on the Tour and Lance Armstrong can use it.
As the BBC reports he bad day on Stage 8:
Lance Armstrong said his hopes of winning a record eighth Tour de France are “finished” after he lost nearly 12 minutes on the eighth stage.
Armstrong fell twice and after losing contact with the leaders he lost more time all the way to the finishing line on Sunday’s first mountain stage.
Added to the minute and a half he lost on Stage 4 3 for a tire change, and the yellow jersey is just too far away.
He will stay and help Levi Leipheimer because the Tour is a team event. If Levi can beat Alberto Contador, that will almost be as good as winning… almost.
