From CyclingNews:
The UCI also announced that as RadioShack’s black jersey were worn in an attempt to raise awareness of the global flight against cancer, any fines levied in the matter will be donated to the Swiss cancer charity Ligue suisse contre le cancer.
I'm sorry, but which d#ckh#ad watching the Tour de France, or seeing the coverage of the Tour, of photos of the podiums, or anything to do with cycling wouldn't be aware of Cancer?
Promoting the awareness of the global fight against cancer (not flight as CyclingNews puts it) isn't truely a worthy cause within the world that is watching the Tour. Maybe actually fighting against cancer by finding yet more cures might be more worthwhile of the time and money that was used to produce a set of kit in black. That was probably taken from Livestrongs bank account rather than Team Radioshack.
Or promoting cancer awareness in Africa, or other 3rd world parts of the World would be more appropriate. That is, of course, if the people who lived there lived long enough to develop cancer. Chances are they won't. They'll die of something simple. Like cholera. Or malnutrition.
That's my two cents on Lance's attention seeking actions.
they were promoting livestrong? so follow my thoughts: Livestrong promo leads to livestrong profit. livestrong stands for help to find a cure to cancer, so the profit goes to... tatarataaaaa... the search of the cure? 
Look Jay, you're not exactly persuading us. We know it's for a good cause, and next time I'm out shopping I'll buy a Livestrong Band, I even have a Livestrong band on my Twitter, but that doesn't mean that I like Armstrong.
So please, can you stop trying to prove us wrong, because, to be honest, I'm sick of your posts.
we're even then.

Yes. Because like our government no longer able to get away with the expenses fraud, Lance Armstrong has found that his past has finally caught up to him as the entire world has had enough with the cheats and dopers within cycling. We are no longer willing to sit by, as fans, and let dopers make a mockery of the beauty of our sport. So finally the UCI has had to do something, or it might be the impending doom that they also face. Either way, bye bye Lance Armstrong for ever and ever. Amen.

I know we are even, but the UCI will only do what protects themselves, McQuaid in particular. |

All I'm going to say about the final result of this Tour is:
Remember how Schleck could've attacked earlier/more in the Alps and said he didn't want to because "I have a plan and I'm sticking to it"?
Saving all your cards for 1-2 opportunities tends to be doomed to failure in any race not named Milano - San Remo.
Go back through the history of racing at the Tour and one thing is painfully clear: The greats who won time after time weren't the only ones who were supremely talented. There were quite a few more who had that talent but didn't win much, such as Zoetemelk or Ocaña.
The greats who won time after time were the ones who had the killer instintct to take every opportunity to gain time as it presents itself.
Because, as (ironically) Bjarne Riis said when he won the Tour:
Having the legs and not attacking because you're sure you can gain the time later is the best way to lose the race. Laurent Fignon taught me that.

Then by all means Gesink will win the Tour some day.
He attacks or takes the lead the moment he sees the chance too 
Although, this could also fall in the 'needless riding in the wind and therefore also losing category' |

It pains me to say this, but I actually like Gesink. Mainly because he does that. And he also looks like he always puts in 150% effort. Pain face all the way!

Ah, the famous pain face riders.
Chris Anker Sørensen, Gesink and Navarro should be awarded a Grand Tour victory each, just for that. |

yea, you can really see how a cyclist is making effort by is face. i think it describe very well a rider dedication and will of fight.

Just because a rider makes a stupid face doesn't mean he's suffering more
Remember how Aldo Sassi said of all the riders he's coached in so many years, Basso isn't the most talented but has the most capacity to suffer and push through the pain of anyone?
Well, Basso never looks in all that much pain, does he?

good point. Contador admited that he had realy bad days. But Andy boy missed them.
Bruyneel was best with it..Ullrich was talking how 2003 they climbed and he had a bad day. Evereypody was listening everybody radios..Bruyneel did find out..next call was to Lance..simple and clear messege>Kill him! Kill him now! ..and he did |

True, and when Gesink was leading the Tourmalet chase with his pain face, he said he was actually holding back energy to have something left to counter attacks in the final kilometers.
So there's not much to say how many % they are giving just by looking at faces |
