after watching the ITV4 highlights have to agree with m - amazing to watch the attacks, the splinters, the counters, the collapses.

T-mobile tactics continue to baffle seems they learn nothing year on year.

question is can Sastre break Pereiro ? - CSC have looked a poorer team this year but they could rally to the cause as Riise is a real master, - in fact it wouldn't surprise me if Riise has been playing it canny all the way through with the team keeping a low profile, Sastre's attack yesterday was all planned and the team coming to life today. Can Caisse d'Epargne protect Pereiro?

I actually no longer care whether they're all on drugs or not. This is just so exciting it simply doesn't matter any more!

Getting no work done whatsoever!

exactly chris, its just awesomely exciting, lances domination was great, but this is really fun, good to have no order and kind of no rules for the riders to stick to, just get out there and put cocks on blocks
who is the biggest man there

No work what so ever, think I may have to stay behind after the tour and working hours are over just to meet my deadlines as this is too good to miss!

I'm just wondering what odds you could have got last night on Landis winning the Tour!

I had a wee look last night, from memory Sastre and Kloden were joint favourites on 6/4, Pereiro on about 4/1(?) and Landis way back no 33/1.

What a legend to come back like that today, all on his Jack Jones to boot! Apparently he was chucking gallons of water over himself, which suggests that he overheated yesterday. Awesome effort.

Gutted that my 'horse' came in 8th tho, I could almost smell the Â£120 coming my way! Hey-ho, lookng forward to an awesome TT on Saturday. Landis has it in the bag tho I reckon :wink:

Then again, who the nope knows in this tour?!

That is a f*****g stupid statement to make. I think you should post a retraction directly.

YOU SHOULD NEVER CONDONE THE USE OF DRUGS IN SPORT - EVEN IF YOU ARE A NAIVE PRAT.

I sincerely hope you don't say the same to your collegues in Adventure Racing.... your respect will be zero

By the way, I mentioned the issue of drugs in sport in my article "Health Overseas for Adventure Racers" - see High Altitude section of http://www.planetfear.com/article_detail.asp?a_id=710 with a link to UK Sport Drug Information Database. Hope it's useful to orienteers, too.
