Sevilla is still in the lead group but he�s just not participating with the pace setting.
16:10 - Sevilla Out Of Lead Group

Sevilla has dropped behind the leading group several times now. He doesn�t appear to have too much trouble keeping up with the five others at the front of the stage but he may be receiving team orders to wait for T-Mobile�s leaders (Ullrich, Kloden and Vinokourov). Similar tactics were employed yesterday when Nardello was in the escape group.
