A 61 year-old woman died after being hit by a police motorcycle. Two others were taken to hospital.

P.S. There is no Cycling forum in the Other Sports section.

The picture is from RDS.ca. CNN.com did not have the stomach to post it, they ran with a pic of just the racers.

RDS did not need to publish that shot... un-necessary. Shame on them.

Armstrong goes from 4th to 2nd after stage 15, but is now 1:37 behind the lead.

Contador (a team mate of Armstrong) is wearing the yellow jersey.

From that article I linked it sounds like Lance is not going to go against Contador, and Contador also believes that his team (including Armstrong) now sees him as their strongest member.

Still, there are six stages left and a lot can happen, even if he;s 1:37 behind.
