no, cos it caused soo much grief with roads closed in my area, and they didn't ask if we minded, just told us the roads were going to be closed and thats it
not that i'm moaning or nothing |

Yes yes yes!! I love watching the tour, even if the bunch of them are on dope.
Oh, and it's doesn't get less exciting with a Dane in the yellow AND polka dot jersey!! |

yes, but at least with road works, you can squeeze by, single file,
on some of the roads you weren't allowed to leave you house or return all day. |

I agree that some cyclists are really stupid, as if traffic rules don't apply to them. It probably also depends on the country; all towns in this country have cycling paths. We cyclists can't complain, only about the hills lol |

Yes well I heard that they're quite strict about that. They just close the road, who cares about disruptions... |

However, to actually talk about the tour: I wonder what Vinorourov took in order to win the stage today. Considdering his downfall yesterday, it seems like quite a miraculous recovery. Then again, the man certainly has some willpower; I certainly would have quit with wounds like that.
Oh, and has anyone noticed that Alberto Contador looks a bit like Luis?? |

Never mind looking like Luis, he rides like Lance!! Did you see him today- 4 attacks in about 4 minutes! I don't think Rasmussen can do it in all honesty. I think after the rest day Contador will crack him and go and get about a minute and a half, and then do a better time than him in the final time trial.
It's a shame McEwen was eliminated- he's one of my favourites, and the final week won't be half as interesting without the McEwen/Boonen rivalry for Green.
And i really don't think Vinokourov is on anything. I just think he really wants to be remembered. What a performance today and on saturday though! Gona miss him if he's not in it next year. All the big guns are dropping out, it's exciting and a shame all at once |
