Great pics, Veronica! Those of us in other parts of the country are living vicariously through your narratives & pictures. Keep it up!

Question for all: What do you think of the commissaires' decision regarding the finish yesterday? And did anyone see the crash?

WELL DONE, WELL DONE,

those of us on the east coast have to stay up well past our bedtime to catch the coverage. One question my son has because we have not seen them is LiquiGas Bianchi in the race???

ps-How come Basso is back??? Didn't he have to do a 2 year suspension like Tyler Hamilton?

My understanding is that Basso was cleared of the charges and Discovery signed him right after that...I think

Interesting to see Basso doing the grunt work at the front of the pack. Great shots, V!

I saw the crash and was disappointed when they finally discovered that Levi was caught up in it. However, I didn't agree with the decision to give everyone the same time. If they were going to neutralize the finishing circuits in the event of a crash it should have been stated up front. I understand why they did it, many of the favorites where caught in the crash, but I didn't think it was right. That's part of racing, IMO.
