Tour talk -- Spoiler alert

[Possegal]

What a strange tour this has been this year. Who knows what the remaining days hold!

I agree about the Robbie McEwen thing - I liked him til I saw him do that same thing. I also liked Renshaw, but now not so much. And now, this pic, where he and Bernard Eisel are looking right at me, means a lot less to me.

Who knows what the remaining days hold!

Can't make any bets on the drama in between but I know one guy who's gonna be on the podium. i saw that in him last year.

Also, stage 17 sounds like a great one to watch in it's entirety.

Just finished watching....Renshaw's head butt was painfully obvious, but slowing it down, it does really look like Julian Dean "started it" by throwing an elbow at Renshaw ...., but Renshaw then nearly pushing Tyler into the barriers was pretty inexcusable.

It seems like Renshaw's actions should have more consequences. He could have seriously injured somebody - perhaps ended a cycling career. Obviously Cavendish won, in part, due to Renshaw's actions. I think Cavendish's win should be stripped - just as if he had been doping. After all, he did not win "fair & square."

Well, we'll see what taking away one of Cavendish's main lead out guys will do to him... it should be interesting.

What a strange tour this has been this year.

This makes me think of a highlights video with the Grateful Dead in the background...What a looonng, strange trip it's been....

Although some people might get tetchy about that livin' on reds, vitamin C and cocaine part.

I don't know...do they test for that?

Ask Tom Boonen...

Happy to see Vino get his stage win today, after Alberto ruined it for him yesterday. I understand that AC needed to gain time on Andy, but it was still rude. Obviously there were no hard feelings, tho; that was a very heart-felt lovefest between the two after the stage today. Nice to see.

[tctrek]

Agree on Vino. He worked his butt off for that win. He's a beast!

[ny biker]

I think, good for Vino, he certainly worked for that win, but -- Contador needs his team to work hard over the next few days in the mountains, so I wonder if maybe he left too much out on the road today and yesterday? I guess they're counting more on the pure climbers for support.
