Paris - Tours
The breakaway.
Arvesen and Schleck tried a team strategy there...
Gerdemann attacks on those small hills
He and Schleck are now in front of the race
But the pack is going to catch them. It will be a mass sprint finish
Hincapie makes a mistake there and our train is behind. I don't think we had many chances though
This was the good train to follow today. Made by Lampre
Bennati and Freire are looking like favourites there
And the 3 times World Champion takes the win
Results
1. Óscar Freire Rabobank 5h57'01
2. Daniele Bennati Liquigas s.t.
3. Danilo Napolitano Lampre s.t.
4. Gert Steegmans Quick·Step s.t.
5. Steven De Jongh Quick·Step s.t.
6. Erik Zabel Team Milram s.t.
7. Tom Boonen Quick·Step s.t.
8. Mirko Lorenzetto Lampre s.t.
9. Alessandro Ballan Lampre s.t.
10. Lars Boom Team Columbia s.t.

Chrono des Nations Les Herbiers
Hagen was the first rider with a decent time today
Boom beats Edvald's time and he is the new leader
Lang is now second, behind Boom
What a time for Gutierrez. He beats everyone that finished the race and takes the lead
Lovkvist beats his team-mate, Lars Boom, but is slower than Gutierrez
Rogers is close but not close enough
Poor time for Grabsch today
Hincapie is very close, just 8 seconds slower than the Spanish ITT Champion
A mediocre performance for Linus Gerdemann
Pinotti does it! He has the same time as Gutierrez but he gets the win!
Results
1. Marco Pinotti Team Columbia 1h07'57
2. José Iván Gutiérrez Caisse d'Epargne s.t.
3. George Hincapie Team Columbia + 8
4. Michael Rogers Team Columbia + 17
5. Thomas Lövkvist Team Columbia + 25
6. Bert Grabsch Team Columbia + 26
7. Linus Gerdemann Team Columbia s.t.
8. Lars Boom Team Columbia + 46
9. Sebastian Lang Gerolsteiner + 51
10. Damien Monier Cofidis, Le Crédit par Téléphone + 57 |

Team Columbia will race the last race of the season, Tour of Lombardy, in a special jersey which will be used only for this race as Columbia has a big points differnce in the Pro Tour Teams competition and they can't lose the title.
Rasm and LAge made a beautifull jersey and the team managers are very happy that they can fount best designers as them. So the credits for making this jersey go to rasm and LAge.
Here is a picture with the famous jersey

Team-mates? No, one is from Saunier and the other has the special jersey of Columbia
Schleck attacks
Kirchen, Valverde and much others are after him
Lovkvist tries his luck too.
Di Luca is first on Civiglio
But on Fermo della Battaglia Schleck catches him
Di Luca is even left behind!
Kim is in the chasing group
Schleck wins the last classic of the season
Kirchen is 7th in the last race of the season for us
And Lovkvist finishes with only a few metres in front of the pack, 23rd
