One by one they all fall down...

Stage 10:
What a stage it was, Lance Armstrong's team didn't worry about early escapes and later on as a complete team set such a scorching pace that only 4 riders including Armstrong, finished in the first group out of the 40-50 sized group that was together at one point. It was a sight to see as the threats faded, the riders falling behind with their tanks below the empty mark.
Armstrong finished with Valverde (team IBA) at the top with the other 2 riders coming 9 seconds back.
Vinokourov finished 5 minutes 18 seconds behind. Ullrich finished 2 minuets 14 seconds back thanks to his team mate Kloden who helped him during the last kilometers. Basso was the only one who kept some respectability finishing a minute back.
It felt like you were seeing something special the way Lance rode the last section.

Stage 11:
One category-1 climb and 2 category-H climbs on this stage...
Vinokurov set out to prove himself and did that by finishing first on this stage. Armstrong’s team didn’t really chase him down abut kept a high tempo and limited the final difference to about a minute and 15 seconds.
The downhill ride was breathtaking with the riders hitting speeds in the excess of 60 kilometers an hour.

Stage 12 and 13 are fairly flat, ;-) at least compared to the previous two stages (10 & 11).
