the Tour is an entirely different proposition to the Giro, don't expect too much from him, he needs a few years to improve 
I'd like to see him at the Vuelta this year. hope he'll be there. |

I agree, if he goes for the tour too early he'll end up like LövkvistB) |

PREDICTION
yes that's right, my prediction:
Millar will attack at some point, maybe in the closing kms, but (really don't want to say this) Boonen will win, and Hunter 2nd

well...I'm back...it was too hot at the beach so I'm back home with a TV and a fan turned on max....and I'm still melting here
meanwhile in france it's looking like rain.
and if it does rain, the time bonuses will be given to the first three riders going through the finish ON THE FIRST LAP, not the last.
little known rule used only for the final stage. |

suddenly it started raining....well well...seems like it's really going to be declared a wet stage. if this happens, as I said before, the bonuses are given on the FIRST lap of the circuit.

yes very boring, i'm hardly even watching it (doing that Hockey game, been doing it since about 12.30, haven't progressed a day yet, but almost finished my tactics, probably lose every game, but it may take a while to get there anyway)

break continues to gain time. Boonen keeping true to his word of trying to get a break to go.
also, Lampre's DS says that Bennati is completely pissed that he was brought here to help Napolitano. says that with Bennati's "I'm the star here" attitude, they probably won't offer him a new contract.
EDIT: Liquigas seems the most likely destination and the break is losing time with CA working. damn
