30KM into Stage 15

At 30KM into the 15th stage, Gerrans, Arrieta, Martinez and Danny Pate have a lead of 9:10 over the peloton.

The group broke away early and is being allowed to remain away by Cadel Evans' Silence-Lotto team which is keeping the pace at the front of the peloton.

I suspect this will change and someone on Team Columbia will try to bridge the gap in the next 50KM.

The big climbs are coming. Remember - category 1 and an hors category today.

Four for the United States

No. Not a spoiler...although I don't know yet who wins this stage. But I wanted you to realize that after having a dozen or more US riders in the Tour de France in past years, we only have FOUR riders in the 2008 edition.

They are Will Frischkorn of Garmin-Chipotle, George Hincapie of Team Columbia, Christian Vandevelde of Garmin-Chipotle and Danny Pate also of Garmin-Chipotle.

Seems like if Garmin tanks, the United States only has George to root for.
