Popovych wins Tour de France stage: Landis holds onto yellow
With everything looking bleak for the Discovery team, Yaroslav Popovych has given them something to cheer about.
The 26-year-old Ukranian cyclist won Friday's stage after repeatedly attacking the three other cyclists who accompanied him on a 70-mile breakaway. American Floyd Landis held onto the yellow jersey, his Phonak team controlling the peloton on a rolling stage through southern France.
The stage win by Popovych moves him into 10th place, 4:15 behind Landis. That's a big gain, considering he started the day in 23rd place, 9 minutes behind, after cracking in the mountains on Thursday. …

George Hincapie no longer seeking Tour de France victory
“The general (classification) is over for me,” a dejected George Hincapie announced after his 44th place finish on Thursday dropped him to 40th overall in the Tour de France, 23 minutes behind the leader.
The Discovery team stalwart and the only cyclist to participate in every one of Lance Armstrong's seven Tour de France wins had high hopes coming into the race. He was often mentioned as Armstrong's successor on the Discovery team and among the shortlist of contenders to win this year. …

Floyd Landis takes yellow jersey; Menchov wins stage
American cyclist Floyd Landis battled on the final climb to take the yellow jersey in the Tour de France on Thursday, highlighting the most exciting stage so far in this year's race.
Russian Denis Menchov, riding for Rabobank, won the stage in a small breakaway of three survivors that also included Landis and another American, Levi Leipheimer.
Leipheimer, who sat in 58th place Thursday morning after a lackluster early Tour, catapulted himself to 13 place overall — 5:39 behind — at the end of the stage with his gutsy 2nd place finish …

Biking Bis poll: Tour de France interest generally the “same” or “less”
How interested are Biking Bis readers in this year's Tour de France?
The responses were tied — 36% each — between “less interested than last year” and “same as last year.” Slightly fewer than 1 in 4 — 22% — voted that they were more interested in this year's Tour than last year.
I voted in that latter group, “more interested,” and after watching Stage 10, I'm wondering why. …

Frenchman Dessel takes yellow jersey in Tour de France
The French regained the lead of the Tour de France for the first time since 2004 as Cyril Dessel, left, joined a breakaway on the first climb of the day and jumped from 28th place and into the yellow jersey.
T-Mobile working at the head of the peloton for the first time in what, seven years, was torn between helping its yellow jersey teammate Serhiy Honchar and limiting damage to two or three other team members.
This is what happens in the Pyrenees when no dominating cyclists are left onboard. Cyclists like Dessel (AG2R) and Juan Mercado (Agritubel) — who won the stage in a sprint against Dessel — …

Hitting the mountains at midpoint of 2006 Tour de France
Finally, some killer terrain! Here we are at the midpoint of the Tour de France on Wednesday, and we're finally seeing some mountains… the Pyrenees to be exact.
Sprinters, it's been nice, but it's time for the teams that want to put their guy on the podium in Paris to take over this race. Expect a lot of attacks. Remember, there really aren't any favorites. Plenty of cyclists have a shot to win. Some are on the Discovery team…
