Tejay Van Garderen finished 30th in the 15th stage of the Tour de France on Sunday and slipped to eighth overall after 4:35 behind the stage winner. Van Garderen has now been outside the top 25 in consecutive stages for the first time since stages three and four and now trails Great Britain’s Christopher Froome by 4:47. Peter Stetina was 45th, the first top 50 finish by an American other than Van Garderen since his own 44th place finish in stage eight. Stetina was 13:49 back overall but moved into the top 50 overall, now 1:17:40 back in 49th. Brent Bookwalter had his best finish of the event in 83rd.

Monday will be a 130-mile hilly stage as the Tour de France wraps up seven straight days of racing. After a day of rest the race ends with five final days of racing. There is one time trial, 11 miles in the mountains in stage 18, remaining.

In the Tour de Pologne on Sunday there was no racing. Weather conditions forced the cancellation of the sixth stage and with those 45 mountain miles gone there is no chance for Larry Warbasse to make a significant move from his seventh overall position. Warbasse is 5:38 behind overall. The race will end with a 15-mile individual time trial on Monday.
