CSC gets a stage win

CSC finally got a stage win for their trophy case in stage 11. This time it was Kurt-Asle Arvensen, who was part of an 11 man breakaway. Those guys must have been very tired at the finish line, because Arvesen won the "sprint" from the front--no one had the strength to pass him. Now all 2 Norwegians in the Tour have won a stage. Think about it--Norway and Luxembourg are dominating the Tour de France.

Koos Moerenhout was 4th. I'm glad I had an excuse to say Koos Moerenhout.

There was no action concerning the leaders' jerseys today, although THOR! did pick up 5 points on Freire's lead. The next 3 stages are flat ones, so we'll have to pay closer attention to them

Current standings:
Freire 138
Kirchen 128
THOR! 117
Zabel 99
