Cleaner or smarter peloton ?

The cynic in me is not so sure…  Maybe they are just measuring the wrong thing.  Probably a losing battle to clean up the sport AFAIK.

UPDATE:  I guess NOT so CLEAN. First caught rider of the tour, Astarloza (Euskaltel-Euskadi).

Like the whole MJ thing, the TdF doesn’t want to die…  Like many, I am suffering from the Post Tour Stress Disorder.

The public feud between LA and AC raged on Twitter.  Rumors of signings to RadioShack e.g. Andy Schleck.  Rumors of new designers drugs still to be detected.  Updates of photo galleries etc.

Here is a gem picture… OK Zane lets see you do this on your trick bike (double wheelie) (Note: back wheel is off the ground):

Midway to Sambro this afternoon my headache reminds me that I have not had my morning espresso…  actually no coffee at all today.

After 3 weeks, I can now get back to normal.  No more late nights watching OLN… Now I can catch up on my sleep and my vacation starts in one week…
