Poor Sastre. It was his last chance. He gave it a good try tho.

Razzy won. Levi & Contador are still giving him a run for his money.
Ummm, yay.....?

What a nail-biter! Razz proved how much he wants that yellow jersey--holding off Team Discovery like he did. I didn't think he would pull it off. I kept screaming at him to stop wasting his energy waving his arms at the motorbikes and save it for the climbing! But he pulled it off anyway!
And Levi--I'm so proud. He rode great today. (I'm a Levi fan). I can't wait to cheer him on in the TT.

I was hoping he would win so I could see the dummies (pacifiers).

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

The stage today just showed again how the TdF is bigger than any scandal.
Whatever you are "on" even if it's just on your back-side...
you still have to ride the route
all the way
from the depart fictif to the arrivee
Brave and tactical rides by the first 5.
Every one of them deserves our respect.

Yep, great stage. But now I'm really wondering about Rassie. I don't have anything against him, but he just seems a bit strong this late in the race, and on such a tough stage.
Sad that these scandals are turning my rose colored glasses to amber, but I just don't trust them anymore.
I was screaming at the t.v. for Levi though. He's just such a great guy, and I believe in my heart that he is clean. I hope he doesn't let me down too..
sigh... I dunno what to think anymore???.... sigh... shoulder shrug....

I'm with you, Running Mommy. I just have questions about Raz. I'm hoping he's so strong because he really really did train! Originally Posted by Running Mommy

I've not been able to get on board with Levi... maybe because in my heart of hearts I wanted George to be the leader... but I know now that he is doing what he needs to do - and does best - for his Team Discovery.
I'll be happy, though, if Discovery riders get podium places. AND there's always the TT!

If it weren't for Schmalz, I don't know if I could continue watching the rest of the Tour this year. Somehow, his irreverence is perversely refreshing in light of everything that's happened these past few days.

Well, I guess my questions (and others?) have been answered a about Raz.
