Vinokourov Dropped

16:52 - Vinokourov Dropped
Vinokourov has been dropped by the Armstrong group

And the 92nd Tour de France just got interesting. I have maintained that Vino was Armstrong's biggest competition of this year's tour. Ullrich seems to be keeping up, though. Maybe the Kaiser has what it takes to keep it close this year.

UPDATE:

4:54 p.m. Armstrong comes up to Popovych to tell him to step up the pace. Popo rides hard and splits the group. Ullrich has dropped.

And just like that, Armstrong takes control.

UPDATE II:
Kloden is dropped.

The 3 big T-Mobile dudes have cracked. They tried hard to attack Lance the other day and failed miserably.
