I love the way Contador is talking up the time trial by pointing out that Schleck won the Luxembourg national time trial, so must therefore be rated in that discipline. What he means is "he beat his brother in a race down the shops".

Chuckled at that myself. Think I read somewhere that there were 6 entrants in total. |

| The Tour De France doesn't get any better than that. The 2 best riders out there going all out up the Tourmalet.
Schleck and Contador take a bow
Brilliant stuff  |

Who needs a lead-out man? Cavendish is so much quicker than anyone else. Blown them all away on the streets of Bordeaux.

“You are playing a game of football this afternoon but more than that you are playing for England, and more even than that, you are playing for right versus wrong. You will win because you have to win. Don’t forget that message from home. England expects every one of you to do his duty.”:1230.gif |

Brilliant stuff from Cavendish
With a couple of good time trialers tomorrow and Paris Sunday could GB catch the french stage total this year?

So Contador will win the Tour by 39 seconds. Ironically the exact amount of time he gained on stage 15 when taking advantage of Schleck's misfortune.

| Better from Schleck than I was expecting and I would say pretty much everybody else. Well done to that man, just a shame that Contador's chain didn't come off today, then we could have had some justice  |

I wouldn't bother reading this bit, there is nothing interesting, witty or insightful down here, just this collection of boring words explaining that you really are wasting your time browsing this signature in the vain and futile hope that there will be a nugget, nay, a veritable goldmine of witticisms or divine philosophy. In reality, all you're going to get is disappointment, a sense of hopelessness and a random word.

The Radioshack team could be interesting to watch if Armstrong is not on his mettle, a few quality G.C. riders ready to seize upon any weakness.'"
My prediction for Le Tour.
I'll get mi coat  |

Contador quitting Astana. I guess that'll be Vinokourov leading Astana now. Rumour was a new team sponsored by Santander was in the pipeline with Contador as their marquee name.

contador is rumoured to be joining bjarne riis at saxo bank, who will be renamed something specilized. he apparently has a contract that he can only ride specialized bikes and they're now taking it a bit further. obviously the shlecks are off to play happy families with their own team

Lost to LeMond by 8 seconds in the tour's closest ever result, another cycling great gone.

Sad news.
That epic battle with LeMond was the first Tour I watched, aged 7.
I've been hooked ever since.

More sad news with Team Sky's masseur dying from sepsis. Although apparently not related to the virus which has destroyed Sky's vuelta.
