Good effort by Millar at the end - that Pozzato, can't play darts but he knows how to finish a race

I hate the way the Cyclingnews page is written. I mean they put the latest information at the foot, not where you'd think so the top.

Same here :- P

Obviously TDF organisers/commissaires have something against Vino - pretty unsporting to pull all the cars out, when others had "tows" back to the bunch.

He must have put in a massive effort to limit his loss to 1:19, riding the last 20k's almost as fast as the bunch in to the finish. Chapeau.

I wonder whether Astana have signed the Drugs declaration. I knew that there were a few teams than hadn't before the tour started. Maybe that's at the route of the decisions of the commisaires yesterday.

I saw Valverde moving through the cars in the earlier part of the stage, so it clearly was unfair on Vino....

Vino is probably one of the most drug linked riders still riding though no?

Rode for T-Mobile, lots of smoke if not a blaze there.

Moved to Liberty Seguros, enough said.

Now with Astana, dodgy eastern european team with riders already suspended...

Hmm.

Regarding 'Pippo' Pozzato, i told him to go for stage 5, and he said ok. I told him exaactly how to do it, use Rabobank to set the pace, hide incospicuously then pounce at the vey last moment. He actually txt me last night to say thanks for the masterplan :wink:

Terrific tactics Adam, so how does that work tomorrow at Chertsey exactly? :?
