Poor local boy Mengin, poised to win on a breakaway and then losing it in the final turn. His rendez-vous ended up being with the barriers instead of the podium. Rain-soaked roads make for interesting - and often dangerous - finishes.
Basso is in 9th place, 1'26" behind Lance. And the mountains are beckoning.

I like reading your posts on the race much more than catching the highlights on the news - you boil it right down to the essence and with pictures too!
Thanks, Vic! When I write the cycling updates, I read and re-read them a few times to make sure I don't sound like an idiot... I know some cyclists and cycling fans who are reading this, and I'd rather not make a fool of myself! ;)
