he won't be disqualified, because then a french team would get the win and the commisaries would never hear the end of it. "conspiracy...conspiracy"

Who needs Cavendish when we have Millar?!
A good sprint from Millar, he said he was planning to attack on the last lap but it was just too quick. Even so 8th on the Champs Elysses is pretty good. Thats another stat in PCM that Millar is underrated in!

This was a sad tour. I mean, a OP-involved rider winning? That's sad. Rasmussen winning? Well, would have been sad, too. Leipheimer? And Evans, that would be good, though. Now, it ended up with Contador who has figured on several of OP-lists... |

who cares...the Vuelta is coming up 
you can tell it's my favorite GT, can't you?
why is it my favorite one, you ask?
three reasons:
1. every single year, the trophy hangs in the balance until the very last moment
2. it's unpredictable as at that stage of the season, some are very tired while others have been injured and as such are fresh by then. so there's ALWAYS quite a few surprises
3. the profile is always interesting. usually it's the most mountainous of the 3 grand tours.
this year it's not mountainous at all and doesn't look hard at all at first sight. wrong. it's the most well-built profile I remember seeing for a grand tour. because it's deceitful and presents very unusual difficulties other than the terrain itself
anyway, I'm getting ahead of myself. what I really want to say is: cycling goes on.
The Tour de Wallonie is going on, and in the next few weeks we have three more HC races:
Post Danmark Rundt (CSC fest, I know )
Volta a Portugal (huge list of contenders plus 3 maybe 4 ProTour teams to be present)
Vuelta a Burgos (always short but always exciting)

It also usually has a better lineup than the giro. |

Only downside - the Vuelta winner tends to get banned for doping.
Lets focus on the Tour de Wallonie - Jeremy Hunt took 4th in Stage 1!

you can say the same about the two other GTs 
and you can't stop talking about brits, can you?
pasamontes won in a breakaway. Unibet just keeps showing their mettle. |

<3 Levi! To bad the TV station covering the race crapped out at the finale all i saw was Bennati crossing the line. Then it all crapped out so i didn't see the podiums. |
