What a great stage.  Lots of Spanish fans and lots of energy.  Juan Jose Cobo Acebo and Leonardo Piepoli came up the Hautacam together and Piepoli won the stage.  Cadel Evans is now in yellow.  He was really emotional stepping on the podium and receiving it.  He was fighting back tears of emotion and ended up kissing the stuffed lion really hard!  Christian Vandevelde is still in third place and gained about 6 seconds from yesterday.  He’s the only American in contention.
