In the spirit of Andy Hampsten, Greg LeMond, and Davis Phinney, Christian Vandevelde is bringing "Scrappy" back to American pro cycling.
Vandevelde hung comfortably with the top GC contenders all day, and his final push up Hautacam may well be the reason Cadel Evans is in Yellow by only one second over Frank Schleck.
Vandevelde is still in third on GC, but has picked up time...now he's only thirty eight seconds behind Evans. I don't know if VDV can hold on to a podium position all the way to Paris...but I wouldn't bet against him.
U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.!
