Just past the half-way mark of the Tour and after the Pyrenees things have certainly been shaken up quite a bit. Iban Mayo, traditionally very strong in the mountains dropped out today, and Floyd Landis is in the yellow, with Team Discovery and George Hincapie nowhere to be found (near the top of the GC anyway). At over 23 minutes back in the GC, Hincapie and Discovery are going to have to kick it into high gear and start digging into some of that time deficit. It’s going to be tough to make that up before the Tour heads into the Alps next week, espcially if Landis keeps riding the way he has been so far.
