It shows Credit Agricole for me. But Landbouwkrediet is the same as Credit Agricole, but in Dutch, so maybe the mistake came from there.

Dont Landbouwkredit have Credit Agricole on their jerseys anyway? Still a stupid mistake, but not completely random

Petacchi recently outfoxed the Manxman on the opening road stage of the Giro di Parma, and was prominent in support of Michele Scarponi on the slopes of Mount Etna later in the race.
A new race that I haven't heard of? |

"Despite being on French soil, Samuel Sanchez's victory at Luz Ardiden today satisfied tens of thousands of Basque supporters who crossed the Spanish border to see their hero in action."

Basques are not all from Spain. They also live in France. As I know... Basque country is in both states. |

Yes, although there could still have been tens of thousands of Spanish Basques crossing the border.  |

At least CyclingNews isn't this bad...
Olympic champion Samuel Sanchez won the 12th stage of the Tour de France after a thrilling climax to the first mountain stage of this year's race.
Frenchman Thomas Voeckler, not a renowned climber, sprang a shock by retaining his yellow jersey.
Welshman Geraint Thomas led towards the end of the gruelling 211km trek, from Cugnaux to Luz Ardiden, before fading.
Jelle Vanendert was second ahead of Frank Schleck, who leapfrogged Cadel Evans into second overall.
He was 10 seconds behind the Belgian while his brother Andy - last year's runner up - is now up to fourth, 11 seconds behind Evans, after finishing sixth on Thursday.
Defending champion Alberto Contador, now seventh overall, struggled to an eighth-place finish in the Pyrenees - and now sits a full four minutes behind race leader Voeckler.
Euskaltel's Sanchez was seven seconds ahead of Belgium's Vanendert, who he attacked in the last of three climbs - considered some of the hardest in professional cycling - on the day's course.
Thomas, now Team Sky's leader after the withdrawal of injured Bradley Wiggins, fell off his bike twice before recovering to remain in contention until 7km from the finish, eventually finishing in 36th.
"I just slipped going round that first bend," he told ITV4.
"It wasn't mechanical, and the second one I had a bit of mud on the tyres. I lost my head a bit but we changed bikes and it was fine.
"At the start I just wanted to get stuck in and race it, and I did that. With seven kilometres to go I thought it was quite close, but there was still a lot of pedalling to go."
He held the white jersey for best young rider earlier in the Tour this year but FDJ's Arnold Jeannson of France has taken hold of it.
Britain's Mark Cavendish finished 153rd, more than 33 minutes adrift, to pick up nine points in the race for the green jersey to extend his lead in that competition, while Spaniard Sanchez has taken the polka dot King of the Mountains jersey off Johnny Hoogerland.
Another brilliantly written article by the BBC there. Also, I never knew that finishing 153rd on a mountain gets you so many green jersey points. |

There's a basque person I know who would say... "Neither spaniard basque or french basque... just basque." |

Nobody chased down his attack in the finale and Liquigas manager Roberto Armadio noted that the overall contenders might live to regret their failure to mark Sanchez.
And no, it's not a typo, because later in the same article
"Sanchez shouldn't be underrated, and I hope that the others don't underrate him either," Armadio warned.

In the article about Tekleheimanot:
"and the first African rider who could potentially ride the Tour de France for some time"
https://www.cyclin...-greenedge
There was no Ronny Hunter who won a stage there, was it?

The Czech rider explained he suffered from cramps. "Then it got better but I didn't pedal the same." The Czech rider is Peter Sagan, although to be fair, Czechoslovakia has only been broken up for over 20 years.

The famous year of the Oil Board sponsorship:
He won a stage from Pau-Bagneres de Luchon on his Tour de France debut in 1983 and finished 14th overall. He won another stage, from Pau to Guzet-Neige in 1984, finishing fourth overall and bettering Tommy Simpson's sixth place from the sixties. He won his third stage, from Cauterets to Supertankers, in 1989, while riding for the Z team.

Belgian road and cyclo-cross legend Roger De Vlaeminck made the presentation of the 30th Superprestige a night to remember, making blunt statements criticizing former world champion Niels Albert and Paris-Roubaix winner Jurgen Van den Broeck.
What?
And later in the same article
'Monsieur Paris-Roubaix' also hit out at this year's cobbled Classic winner Van den Broeck, saying he didn't understand why young riders don't pay respect to somebody like him. "They should have more respect for their elders. Van den Broeck didn't bother to say hello to a man like me but he's good enough to drive around in a 6M [1.5m euro] car. Back in my days I drove a nice car too but that was one that I had won, now they're buying those cars themselves."
