will some warm soul be kind enough to youtube the finish for those of us who didn't catch it by a few minutes?

I don;t think that I had anyone(Americans ) to root for so I was all for McEwen Toobad he got clubbed in the head (in case you didn't see that part) by a spectator. Suprisingly Versus aired it with commentary by Ligget and Sherwen and they went on and on about how McEwen is the best bike handler in the buisness always doin replays of the part were he got hit.

I'd say Pereiro. does wheelies on his front wheel at almost a 90ΒΊ angle from the ground and descends beautifully. Landis, Savoldelli and Pagliarini come close.

An embarrassing mishap for the French anti-doping movement occurred yesterday at the finish of the penultimate ProTour race this season, Paris-Tours. After Alessandro Petacchi sprinted to the victory and gave his TV interviews, he was not asked to the doping controls that usually involve the winner of an event, as well as other, randomly chosen riders.
"The doctor that had been commissioned by the AFLD [the French Anti-Doping Agency] was late," explained ASO press officer Mathieu Desplats to Cyclingnews. "He arrived only 15 minutes after the riders. Normally, this person needs to be at the finish two hours before in order to prepare everything."
The organiser of the event, in this case ASO, is not involved in the process of doping controls at the finish. "We only provide the equipment and materials for the doping control to take place," continued Desplats. "The van in which it will be carried out for example, and the water for the riders - things like that. But we are not in charge of the actual taking of the urine sample."
It is the UCI that delegates this responsibility to the national anti-doping agencies, in this case the AFLD. No explanation for this disaster has yet been given, as the persons in charge could not be reached.
