Lance Armstrong and George Hincapie are still in first and second, Hincapie being 55 seconds back, but a strong second-place finish in today's stage from Alexander Vinokourov puts him in third in the GC.

Famous quotes containing the word july:

    “Children are as destined biologically to break away as we are, emotionally, to hold on and protect. But thinking independently comes of acting independently. It begins with a two-year-old doggedly pulling on flannel pajamas during a July heat wave and with parents accepting that the impulse is a good one. When we let go of these small tasks without anger or sorrow but with pleasure and pride we give each act of independence our blessing.”
    —Cathy Rindner Tempelsman (20th century)
