Durwood, a huge TdF fan, seems to think Armstrong is going to take this without a problem.

Nicki Sørensen! Yay! Fantastic win by the old guy - and deserved after 7 years of being a teamplayer in the tour.

From following it (on and off) in the past, isn't it usually a case of people hanging ahead or near Armstrong than he blows everyone away on the last couple mountain treks before the end?

Had this been 2005, sure that would have happened. But 3 years without competitive racing for the Tourminator (yeah...) might make this tour more interesting in that aspect. :p

How does he stay on the bike with only the one testicle for gripping?

He has a fake nut for balance.

So finally we get a race. Contador is very, very strong and Armstrong not so much.

Interesting finish. Wiggins has really surprised me and Astana has only one captain now. Also, it's wonderful to know that the Schlecks and Contador can continue this battle many years to come.

Hmm.. is it too much to ask for a little excitement in this year's tour? It seems to be only the Schlecks that are willing to attack, and they can't lose Contador.. or Klöden for that matter.

What a stage! Seeing the Schleck brothers cross that finish line was fantastic, great race.

:yes:

I was only able to catch part of it, but yeah.

How about some pics of the hotties that hand out the flowers at the end of each stage? :)

Surprise! Contador is doped.

Says Greg Lemond. Apparently he has calculated how much oxygen volume Contador's lungs had to be able to handle during the time trial yesterday and concluded that it was much higher than that of Festina's druglords of the 90's. Go figure.
