The finish: Filippo Pozzato wins the stage. Cancellara is in that lead group so he stays in Yellow. Vinokourov comes in about 1 minute 17 seconds later.
4 km to go: On the start of a very scary-ass descent Vino has hooked up with the Tom Boonen group and is getting help.
10 kilometers to go: Unbelievable! Vinokourov is on the final climb. He has burned off all of his team and is chasing solo. He's within a minute of the field as he makes his way through the dropped riders. What a champion!
Flash: 8:00 AM, PDT: Alexandre Vinokourov has crashed with about 20 kilometers to go in the stage. 6 of his teammates (less Kloden) have dropped back to pace him back. The gap to the peloton is over 2 minutes and Vinokourov seems to be really hurt.
