AN AMAZING STAGE 15 AT THE TOUR DE FRANCE TODAY...

If you did not watch today's Tour De France stage 15 live this morning, you missed a great war on the wheels. My personal opinion, for whatever it's worth, is that Cadel Evans showed some weekness today as he got repeatedly worked by the Schleck brothers, Sastre, Van Dervelde and others. He could not react the last KM of the final climb and that could spell trouble in the coming mountain stages. Pictured above, Denis Menchov of Robobank in a bizarre crash, went down while attacking at the top of the final climb, sliding out on wet pavement. Amazingly enough, he recovered to get back on and then drop yellow on his way to the finish. Pretty impressive and the guy who looked the strongest to me today.

And what about Oscar Pereiro taking the dive over the guard rail on a switch back, plummeting 12 feet down onto pavement below and breaking his arm and sustaining other injuries..unreal, but cool he will be OK
And how's about Garmin-Chipolte? Danny Pate third? Awesome. And Vandervelde riding away from yellow in the last .5KM

Hell yeah.

Frank Schleck is now in YELLOW, that's right, Frank Schleck, the same guy who got back on his bike after this crash in the Tour of Switzerland this year. GET SOME TOUGH GUY.
