Now the race begins...at least that's what many Tour de France insiders think as the road turns skywards and the mountains lay ahead.

In the General Standings Fabian Cancellara still leads the race over Lance Armstrong, but the two are tied for the lead on time.

Just 19 seconds behind them is Alberto Contador in 3rd place, and just 31 second behind the two co-leaders is Levi Leipheimer of Astana in 5th place.

Stage 7 of the Tour de France promises to shake up the lead as the mountains loom ahead. Just watch the preview video below, and don't forget to check out the stage 6 results and General Standings as well:
