    there is talk about a new epo ... who knows ... i'm not sure about froome myself ... as i have been with most other cyclists ... i wish sky would join the mpcc ... i actually emailed the team after they asked what they could possibly do to make people believe they weren't cheating ... well, join the mpcc and i haven't had a response ...

    after all the years of lance, it's hard to see a guy as dominant as froome (TT, climbing, etc) and not wonder :?

    porte was great ... although - seems like sky had car problems and froome missed a gel feed earlier on ... bonked a bit ...

    another day in the alps ... awesome ... it's all about podium spots now ...

    also L'Equipe has analyzed Froome's power data ... seems to be all in order ...

    has been a great tour ... a shame valverde flatted at the worst possible time ... i do think belkin didn't make the podium because of that ... bad karma i say ...

    it was too bad that the only drama at the end was for the podium spots ... but still great stages ...

    It WAS good :D

    froome hung in on stage 20 just like.........lance :shock: would have done.

    I thought I was DVRing the final day but got a re-run of saturday instead. I missed the arc de' triomphe (sp?) light show. I heard it was pretty cool.
