We saw one of his giant bicycles when we came down Plateau de Beille 2 years ago during the Tour. Amazing. We have a picture on the other computer - I will try to add it in. We missed seeing him, though. We were pretty much trying to get the heck off the top of the mountain after the stage and were pretty focussed on just not killing anyone. (Oh and my swollen and I hoped not broken foot from where Jean Marie le Blanc's car ran over it.

Eurosport mentioned him this AM as being on the Port de Bales (I only have audio, not video at work). They also mentioned that he's losing his sponsor (another fallout from the German media pulling away from cycling).

I saw him about half an hour ago, menacing Vinokourov I think it was.

I love that devil. Just caught him on the replay. The chicken was pretty good, too.
