Just how tough is Alexandre Vinokourov? Even after some tough days in the Alps, where he has lost 8 minutes to overall leader Michael Rassmussen, made much more difficult because of his crash injuries earlier in the tour, Vino still took advantage of the strong crosswinds on today's flat stage to drive from the front and split the peleton, catching out one of his rivals Christophe Moreau. He even tried his own little breakaway maneuver about 3 kilometers from the finish, but ended up not surprising the sprinters still at the front. How bad are Vino's injuries? Bad enough to worry about infection in his left knee, and raw enough to have the tour doctors change his bandages during the race.
I don't even want to think about what's under there!
