Rasmussen's big test
Posted Jul 21st 2007, 12:53pm by james evans
Today's time trial stage around Albi is certain to test yellow jersey holder Michael Rasmussen.
With the chasing pack ready to pounce, the Dane will be keen not to mark a repeat of his performances last year, where he lost over twelve minutes to fellow rider Andreas Kloeden.
Kloden sits just 3 minutes 50 seconds minutes behind him in the overall classification.

It remains unclear whether Kloeden will take lead-rider responsibilities, though rest assured that the Astana team will have a huge part to play over the coming days as the race enters the Pyrenees.
