No, I won't.
But know I know why FDJ sponsors this team!
FDJ is a gambling company. To gamble is to take risks.
The FDJ team takes risks all the time by being aggressive. |

Tour de Suisse ITT:
1. SUI CANCELLARA Fabian SAX 45'59" 40
2. GER MARTIN Tony THR 01'27" 25
3. NED DEKKER Thomas SIL 01'42" 15
4. GER BURGHARDT Marcus THR 01'43" 10
5. FRA CHAVANEL Sylvain QST 01'48" 5
6. AUS MEYER Cameron GRM 01'50" 3
7. CZE KREUZIGER Roman LIQ 02'00" 2
8. DEN VANDBORG Brian Bach LIQ 02'02" 1
9. GER KLÖDEN Andreas AST 02'09" 0
10. NOR HUSHOVD Thor CTT 02'14" 0
11. RUS KARPETS Vladimir KAT 02'21" 0
12. ITA BALLAN Alessandro LAM 02'24" 0
13. GER HAUSSLER Heinrich CTT 02'33" 0
14. ITA CUNEGO Damiano LAM 02'33" 0
15. LUX SCHLECK Andy SAX 02'37" 0
Andy Scheck 28 seconds slower than Klöden. It's true that A. Schleck isn't as good as the specialists, but he's no Michael Rasmussen - or his brother, F. Schleck, for that matter

Nevertheless, it's still a damn shame to see one of the biggest talents having his career practically ended before even showing his potential on the big scene. I'm more dissapointed than anything about this.

Or if he gets busted for doping.
Also how long into the Tour do people think it will be before the first dope bust occurs? |
