Tour Tidbit du Jour - Rest Day 2 2009

In the last week of the Tour, we usually have the jerseys and the final contenders shaken out of the 180 original riders. The yellow jersey seems pretty settled with Alberto Contador showing strong kicking legs on Sunday, with now super-domestique Lance Armstrong behind him at 1'37". The white jersey also seems pretty settle with Andy Schleck jumping over Tony Martin rather forcefully on that last climb to Verbier as well. However, there's still one more "honour" to award for the overall classification, and that's the lanterne rouge, the last place guy: Kenny Robert Van Hummel, a Dutchman on Skil-Shimano, who is a mere 3h02'10" behind Alberto Contador.
