Good point. I've always thought we'll know the Tour has cleaned up when it slows down.

Not sure if I totally agree with that. Seems to me more blood carrying more oxygen will keep the pain at bay longer. Yes, Kohl and many others would be innocent based on my silly criteria. I'm not saying Contador and Wiggins are the only ones doping (if they were). They just stood out to me...

I have nothing to support this except my own opinion, but I've always had the feeling that Casar is a clean rider, and if everyone else was too, that he might be the best rider of his generation. I've always thought that a sure fire way to see who is clean is to look at their faces on an...

Don't forget this, too: http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2002/sep/03/cycling.cycling

For the life of me, I can't figure out why some motorists get so upset about cyclists. It's riding a bike for pete's sake! It's not selling crystal meth. Of all the things to get made at someone for healthy, clean, transportation/exercise shouldn't be one of them.

I couldn't agree more! For me, there was always a little luster taken off of Armstrong's Tour wins because he always had a couple people who should have been his rivals carrying his water bottles instead.

I just hope all the drama and clinicals don't force him to retire. Or the ongoing investigation into his blood doping.

I'd say you're probably right, but I'd also say so what. AC was trying to win the Tour not ensure glory for Astana. I'll cut him some slack for not being able to figure out while exhausted in the middle of a mountainous stage during a grand tour, just how much effort he needed to expend to 1)...

I just have to throw in my two cents: So, Contador said Armstrong is a great champion, but not such a great person. Is that news? Didn't Perero say the same thing before the Tour? Didn't lots of people say that during LA's seven year reign. Landis implied it in his book. Even Lance admits in...

Well, it was kind of fun the first time so why not. Check out third place. 1 Alberto Contador Velasco (Spa) Astana 85:48:35 2 Andy Schleck (Lux) Team Saxo Bank 0:03:31 3 Lance Armstrong (USA) Astana 0:05:24 3 Fränk Schleck (Lux) Team Saxo Bank 0:05:24...

Fair enough. If that's true than I take it back ... although he still annoys me.

Yeah, that guy ****es me off more than anybody. Forget horns through the wheel. If he trips he's going to impale a rider or some helpless fan. What a selfish ***.

For sure this wouldn't be the actual GC if there hadn't been a time trial. The wildcards like Le Melvel and Hindcapie probably wouldn't be there, or would be replaced by people with less climbing ability. But I do think it would be a more interesting race if the main GC contenders were still...

I was curious, so I figured out what the top twenty would look like if there hadn't been a TTT. Interesting. 1 Alberto Contador Velasco (Spa) Astana 15:17:56 2 Christophe Le Mevel (Fra) Française des Jeux 0:00:29 3 Rinaldo Nocentini (Ita) AG2R La Mondiale 0:00:42 4 Bradley Wiggins (GBr)...

Forgive my ignorance, but what happened on Stage 8?
