Stage 15: Plateau de Beille

Alexandre Vinokourov recovered quite a bit from yesterday and won an extremely grueling stage today. There were two category 2 climbs, 2 category 1 climbs and one hors category (above classification) mountain. Rasmussen retained the yellow jersey. American George Hincapie came over the Col du Peyresourde not far behind the leaders and ahead of Levi Leipheimer!

Tomorrow is a much needed rest day followed by the last mountain stage. It will be interesting to see what happens
