i like Cav's attitude. He always works with the team and is the first to thank them. When he looses a sprint of course he'll be slightly upset or when the reporter said (i forget the stage) 'What have you learnt' Cavendish said 'Nothing'. Well thats because on that stage there was nothing to learn.

Our 2nd Positive test is..... Moises Duenas
Barloworld rider Moises Dueñas has tested positive for EPO after the first time trial in the Tour de France, French newspaper L'Equipe claims on Wednesday morning.
The Spaniard - who is believed to have tested positive for EPO - was lying nineteenth overall when the news broke.
French police have descended in force on Dueñas team hotel in Tarbes.
It is the Tour's second failed test for EPO after Spaniard Manuel Beltran of the Liquigas team also tested positive.

They had better not kick out Barloworld!
Looking at today's stage, I will say that there'll be a breakaway victory, and that victory will go to David Millar.

they didnt boot liquigas so i kinda doubt they'll kick out barloworld.
how will the decition of all teams to leave protour effect kicking of teams during the tour? i would think aso would have to show more understanding now and cant that easily kick out teams. or? |

Well I have seen him being surly on more than one occasion with interviewers, I do like his "On-Bike" attitude but he needs to be a bit more humble when it does not go his way. Heck I remember Greg Lemond blowing on a big stage and he gave a very gracious interview afterwards. But by just typing in "Mark Cavendish" and "Rude" in google it looks like I am not alone. It just is not very sponsor friendly. |

I found a flaw in your plan Sporting!
Millare isn't in the break However I'm sure he will attack on the Cat 1 climb, bridge the gap and solo to the finishB)

Naturally, im surprised Millar isnt attacking on the flat right now. i think he could solo for the last 90 km. And not even break sweat!  |

Versus comentators suck, They keep saying Pereiro is at around 15-20 seconds ahead, when the gpas they are showing quite clearly show he is over a minute ahead. Anyway, I think Fedrigo has a good chance apart from obviousl favorites Pozzato and Wegmann.

Lol, Moerenhout, possibly the worst possible sprinter of all Dutchies in this Tour, and he has to sprint for the win
If only Boom was here |

I didn't watch the stage today, but I believe I am able to say: CAV!B)
Even if he fails at the madison in Beijing, now it will not look so bad, as his performances in the Tour have been great.
I don't see him keeping this form all th way to Beijing, especially if he goes all the way to Paris, but I'm hopeful he can be in decent form and Brad will be in excellent formB)
