Hey, good to see that "little silhouetto" of a moose again!
And, merde, just in time, too, because un élan à vélo a percuté ma soeur!

The tour wouldn’t be the tour without the Diablo.
What a way to watch the tour on the back of the horse in cycle jersey and helmet.

It is going to be really interesting if they all stay within a minute of each other. How do you really pick one in that situation?
Judging from the Tour preview on Versus, Lance really really wants to win Ventoux. It would be interesting to see how that would play out if he is close to the lead that day. Not that I think Contador couldn’t keep up with him, but it makes for a lot of interesting scenarios.
I saw a blog from Chris Carmichael saying that Lance was back down to his ‘05 weight and improved every day in Italy. If he is looking strong next week, I’m really really glad I’m not in Bruyneel’s shoes.

Some tweets from TDF Blog:
All 9 Columbias, 5 Skil-Shimanos, Armstrong, Zubeldia, Cancellara among 27 leading
The breakaway 4 are absorbed by the Columbia echelon. Cancellara’s here, Armstrong is. NOT: Contador, Menchov, Evans, Sastre

Yes, a great finish.
Got to watch the last 15km live and can't believe that after 5 hours in the saddle these animals are fighting to the finish!
With or without Lance I think the TDF is back to it's glory days. I hope the dope problems don't come out to ruin things.

Lance is in 3rd still 40 seconds back, but 20 seconds in front of Contador.
Things should start to get interesting right about now. If I understand correctly a strong ride by Astana tomorrow should put Lance in yellow.
