Thanks guys! But you´re a bit too optimistic..there´s still a long and hard time trial left 
The Tour was so crazy, maybe Monfort crashs there in the last kilometre and has to give up the Tour  Everything is possible in this Tour de France |

Thanks! Well, this Tour is just crazy..Contador seems to dominate almost every mountain stage but then he crashed and lost the connection to the peloton. It´s really lucky for Monfort but you know..the Tour isn´t over yet |

Congrats for the tour win I do not think that Contador is able to gain 2'44" on Monfort... So just avoid a crash |

Hehe, It would be great to avoid a crash but you can´t affect that |

The final stage before the victory ride tomorrow! A long time trial over 51 kilometres will decide about the overall. Monfort has the best chance but Contador surely wants to try everything!
Cancellara set the first good time today with 1h 11´44 but is that enough to take the stage win ?
Boasson Hagen wasn´t able to beat that time! He lost almost one minute to the World Champion Cancellara
Rogers got another great results today! Well, he couldn´t beat Cancellara or Boasson Hagen but with this ride he was able to jump in the overall from 17 to 12! This is an amazing result for our biggest help. He deserves it really much
Vande Velde was the first one, beating Cancellara! The American was 31 seconds faster than Cancellara which brings him a great placement
Bradley Wiggins was even fast than Vande Velde in the end. Only 8 seconds made the difference between two great time trialists!
I think Levi Leipheimer showed an amazing Tour after his captain Armstrong was out! He got the same time like Wiggins today
Andy Schleck isn´t one of the best in this category but he put up a good fight today, finishing on position 10 with 2 minutes and 48 seconds to the stage winner
Alberto Contador and Maxime Monfort! It was just unbelievable how fast Alberto was at the first and second time measurements. At the first one he was more than 40 seconds faster than Maxime Monfort and at the second even 2 minutes! Maxime Monfort had a really bad day, loosing one second by one but in the end he had more power left than Alberto. Maxime was able to save his jersey by only 39 seconds to Alberto Contador, who of course took the stage win here

Great job keeping the Yellow Jersey. Winning the Tour with a such rider as Monfort is an amazing performance. |

After three week of great cycling, there´s only one stage left. It should be the triumphal procession of Maxime Monfort and his Columbia Team
Kiryienka was in front after he was attacking out of the break. But he wasn´t alone on the last 3 kilometres! Michael Rogers tried to win this last stage and because of his great job for Monfort, he really deserved that chance
But he wasn´t fast enough, while Farrar came with highspeed from behind
No one was able to stop Farrar today. Rogers hadn´t enough power left to sprint for the podium but anyway a good try by him..again we have to say: Thanks a lot Michael Rogers
Congrats to Tyler Farrar who wins the last stage of a crazy Tour de France 2010! Breschel and Duque follow him on the podium
And there is the winner! Maxime Monfort is crossing the finish line together with his main rival Alberto Contador, What an amazing performance by Monfort! I still can´t believe it...

After Cavendish couldn´t continue with this Tour, we were still able to achieve the goal of our sponsor, winning the green jersey. King Monfort got it

That´s a pity for every team behind us! RadioShack had only 4 riders in the last stages! Columbia just one more... |
