Here are scenes from today's stage of the Tour de France. The stage winner was French cyclist Sandy Casar, who averaged 22.54 miles per hour for 127.0 miles. The highest-placed American at the midway point of the Tour is Levi Leipheimer, who lies sixth, 3:59 behind leader Andy Schleck. I believe Levi can make the podium, which would be a great result for the native Montanan. Here is a preview of tomorrow's stage.
