The war begins, or the war's not over

I have to confess that I didn't watch the actual part of today's stage that meant anything.  What I do know is that Astana's script is just like Discovery's - put in a big attack in the mountains, take the yellow, and then grind everybody down to the point that there are no attacks.  Hopefully, somebody, anybody, will not follow the script and will do something cheeky.

Charles Bennett is pulling out a big lead in the Luna Cycles Fantasy Tour de France powered by Ambien.  Current standings after stage 15:
