Tour miracles 2009

Every year throws up its share of miracles whether it be Rasmussen's climbing, the Landis breakaway, the Disco train

My nominations this year:
1. Contador - for winning the tour in the style of attempted doper Basso in the Giro a few years ago

2. Contador - for a time trialing performance that belies his climbers frame

3. Franck Schleck - officially the third best climber in the world

4. No positives - no doping positives. Will they come out later?

The biggest miracle to me is that Lance is so willing to tarnish his legacy by making sour grapes comments about Contador.

1. Contador - How is he still walking on the ground? With all that power he should accidentally spring off and float towards the moon like Mr Sqiggle.

2. Denis Menchov - Still has all his limbs attached... and most of his skin. First blind man to complete a Tour de France by navigating corners using braile.

3. Cavendish - none of the riders took the opportunity to give him a tap off an Alp

I have a sneaking suspicion that ASO are covering up the results or saving them for after the tour.
