    somebody else got cleared using a diuretic ... i am gonna guess frank will too ... his biggest problem is that he is tied to radioshack and bruyneel ...

    next 2 days are huge ... there needs to be some co-ordinated attacks ... tj and cadel, horner and zubeldia from radioshack, basso and nibali from liquigas ...

    im lucky ive watched every stage so far i love it ... frank schlek has left the tour due to suspected drug ......[always rears its ugly head] ......but he say hes innocent and i hope its true.
    bradley should win but anything can happen especially in the next 2 days .

    While watching the post-race show, I heard someone talk about how the Tour designed this course to Bradley Wiggin's strangths. Is that legal? Did I misunderstand something? I feel like they should have designed it to be neutral :?

    That seems like it gets thrown out every so often, when the course fits the strengths of the favorites. Since it was time trial heavy, it was supposed to benefit Cadel. :lol:

    The whole process can get pretty political, though, with so many hands in the pot and different agendas, especially when certain teams get snubbed.

    Congratulations to Bradley Wiggins.
    Great sportsmanship shown towards our Cadel when he received a punctured tyre during that sabotaged stage.
    Deserved winner.

    Deserved winner.

    The country England is off to a great start sports wise with a Brit in the the Wilbedon finals, winner in The TOUR, and now the Olympics good for them.

    Great final time trial by BW he earned that yellow jersey.
