Flashback: 2006 Dauphine Libere: Ronny Scholz (Gerolsteiner) was part of a 9-man breakaway
that escaped at the stage start. At the base of Mont Ventoux, their lead was just under 3 minutes.
At the top, Scholz finished 20 minutes after stage winner Menchov. But his work for the day had long
since ended, in support of his teammate, new race leader Leipheimer.
