Stage 12 - Bourg-de-Péage to Mende

http://gallery.me.com/brizel#100083
Our first day of riding with Steve, Gregory, Stephen, Craig and I. We hit the back roads by Albi, with rolling roads and a nice climb up to Cordes. Then a dip in the pool, before we went to town for a late lunch, followed by watching the last 15K of the race on TV.


Alexander Vinokourov was off the front on the final climb of the day, the Côte de la Croix-Neuve, and going for the stage win, when his teammate Contador followed an attack by Rodriguez out of the yellow-jersey group. Schleck tried to follow them, but just didn't have it today. The two of them past Vino and Rodriguez edged out Contador for the stage win. Contador gained 10 seconds on Andy Schleck who is still in the lead.
