Tour de France 2008 - Stage 11

Today's stage was sort of what was expected. Solid break got away. KAA won the stage which brought smiles. I'm happy for him! The top contenders pretty much stayed the same. I hope to watch the ending a little more closely tonight as I missed it with the trip to the hospital for a check on the leg. I will have viewing pleasure while up there but the internet connection is in question... :-(
