LE TOUR UPDATE

Darn it, looks like Cadel has let the yellow slip off his back and onto a well deserved Frank Schleck at Stage 15! Although Cadel’s position has now slipped to 3rd place, 8 seconds behind Schleck, I still have hopes for our Aussie – it ain’t over until Paris!
It was a gruelling Stage 15 filled with riding tactics and bone breaking crashes and Cadel finished relatively unscathed. But the not-so-lucky Oscar Pereiro was a victim of a nasty crash and suffered multiple fractures... and he's out...
Well at least the pressure's off Cadel for now, perhaps a good strategy to concentrate on the mountains later in the week. Stay tuned!
