Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux -> La Montagne de Lure
Queen stage! Today, the peloton gets to stretch their legs on two Cat 2 and two Cat 3 climbs before the uphill finish on Cat 1 Montagne de Lure (which, I understand, is not a volcano).
After 25km, 8 men have a gap of 4 minutes on the peleton:
Mickael Delage (Silence Lotto)
Javier Aramendia (Euskaltel)
Romain Feillu (Agritubel)
Niki Terspra (Milram)
Cyril Lemoine (Skil Shimano)
Christophe Riblon (AG2R)
Alan Perez (Euskaltel)
Sebastien Turgot (BBox Bouygues Telecom)
Jeremy Roy (FDJeux) is chasing, 45 seconds back.
Tommy Voeckler crashed early on and is out. Possible broken collarbone?

Someone here has turned the heating way up and, combined with lack of interesting work, it’s having a very soporific effect.

From the live ticker earlier:
In l’Equipe, Manuel Martinez reminds that Alberto Contador and yellow jersey holder Sylvain Chavanel have been in a similar situation before, "on an almost identical course":
"It was on September 6, 2008, in the 7th stage of the Tour of Spain which finished at the top of the Rabassa in Andorra. A climb of 13.6 kms with a similar average of 6.6 percent. That day, Alberto Contador beat Chavanel by… 36 seconds".
