Franco Pellizotti (Liquigas) has two goals for this year's Tour de France, "I've got two aims in this race, to win a mountain stage - preferably at Mont Ventoux (on stage 20) - and to win the polka dot jersey." Today he took over the climber's "pois" jersey after chipping away at rival Egoi MartÃnez. Pellizotti now leads MartÃnez by a slim 3 points, 98 to 95.
Meanwhile, Nocentini had no real difficulties on today's five-climb stage to Colmar and retained the yellow jersey for the 7th day. Sunday will be another story......
