I think that Cav deserved that DQ......was all over him. that said he is so much the man that it doesn't even matter. just so fast.
how about Boonen this year, dropped out yesterday morning I think. he did nothing (though I know he was not ready)
Yesterdays stage was awesome. When they got to the final climb they just blew it up. Contador showed who the true master of the mountains is currently. I believe that if Lance had the gas he would have followed him. after Contador left, he was looking over his shoulder for help.

anybody watch today?
Lance still has class. The Schleck brothers started a break on the last climb, got away with Contador, he had Kloden with him as well as the Englishman Wiggins from Garmin. Fucking awesome.....they got maybe 20-30 second gap on the main group, then Lance cut loose and went across by himself, blew past Frank Schleck and rejoined Contador.
great race

I was also watching johni!
Great race and Lance was strong at the end, but me thinks the others are much stronger, but you never know. his last and only chance is the timerace, don't know the exactly english word, but in the end contador will fly away at the mt. ventoux! tomorrow the schleck Brothers have to attack him constantly and if perhaps for a second he is weak, they have to go. But thats the only chance.
I was happy to see Klöden in good shape! That man would also deserve a Tour de france win.

So do they stop taking the meds a few weeks before a match so it doesn't show up in the tests or what? What are the popular meds that bikers use..testosterone?
Floyd Landis got busted for Testosterone......that after winning a tour that saw him taking back like 25 minutes in one mountain stage.. That was one of my favorite tour stages ever.
dope testing is very severe at this point. EPO was popular and effective, blood doping is another means taking more red blood cells from either your own or someone elses blood and then injecting them into your body.....Vinokourov got popped for that on the past few years.
Tolpan I agree that both Contador and Wiggins are stronger. Andy Schleck is another with great class. I want to believe that Lance will finish higher than Andy, but only time will tell. I think that Frank is not as strong as his brother. And you are correct, Kloden is another great rider did you notice the stage two days ago when Lance got dropped by Andy and Contador, he was looking back for Kloden he needed his help.
time changes everything Lance was a great champion just likely not again.

Me thinks they read lots of info about how to pass a piss test on cannabis boards
, they âre the best clients for the wizzinator.Seriously they know how to manipulate and I would say 110 % of the drivers are dopers. I have several friends that were driving the TdF in the last 2 decades and right now my neighbour is in the race and well I know, I know!
Nuff said.
One more sentence! They test much more drivers positiv than they show in public! So much politics and industries involved! Money money money
And one more:Just read Lance wants to become gouvernor in texas,haha
Heya johni!
I never liked Lance and his comeback was a smash in the face for the whole cycling industrie!
just my 2 cents
All respect for ya brother, don' t want to start any beef! Everyone has his own hero! Mine was Jan Ullrich!
Everyone needs someone to fight against, or to compete with, so thats the way it goes! And without Lance there wouldn't been Jan and the other way around! Both dominated this sport for about a decade and I really enjoyed all the battles! Doped or not!
cheers

ive missed hte last few days of the tour, but thankfully i had time to watch it today. its just commercial break right now, so exiting my rider hushovd is grabbing good points for the green jersey. they are just entering the hills now and he is still in front looking strong. how about that a sprinter that can do hills aswell 
yeah mang I saw that this morning he was 6 minutes in front with the two major climbs left to go.....I will see the outcome later today. gotta work for a minute or two.

Well I must say I didn't like how the Tour was laided out this year but the last climb was amazing.....Mt Vuolto(i think)......Lance did ok after a 3-4 year break.....and probably could have got 2nd overall if Contador's tactics were more team oriented. Alot of people have questioned some of Contadors tactics because alot feel like Contador knocked Lance and Kloden both team mates from astana out of 2nd and 3rd place. It's hard to say because Andy Schelck was great in the Mtns. I'm glad Lance is starting his own team next year......I can't wait to see how they try to beat the top guys like Contador, the Schlecks....Carlos Sasta etx next year........as I'm sure Lance will have a team around him that's dedicated to him winning next year.....I'm not sure if Lance can win the Tour again but he's still close to the top.
Sidenote
Mark Cavendish what a sprinter 6 stage wins in this years tour.......if this guy ever learns to climb half way decent he will be tough

Best line was when Phil Ligget said that "Contador lacks the intelligence to lead a team"
next year watch out. Levi, Lance, Kloden.....Radio Shack is going to put Lance on the podium again.

I'm watching this year. Cav crashing in first stage was great. Froome crashed today. Hope he's ok.
