Alexandre Vinokourov takes Tour 11th stage

All the three main T-Mobile riders were among the stage leaders Wednesday after the 173-kilometer (or 107-mile) stage from Courchevel to Briancon over two monumental climbs in the Alps in cool - and sometimes drizzly - weather.

Lance Armstrong, though, is pretty confident despite Vinokourov`s victory in the 11th stage, stating that "A guy six or seven minutes behind, we`re not going to worry about that. He definitely wasn`t our concern today. We have to prioritize, and he wasn`t on our list of priorities."

The Discovery Channel`s lead rider, Armstrong is making great strides to win his seventh straight Tour de France victory, and claims that this Tour de France will be his last.
