So, you've never watched it then? Its been worse then weightlifting since its beginning. That doesnt take away my interest in it though. One could come to the opinion that its only getting cleaner as more and more get caught. But the positive drug tests never seem to end...
Yesterdays stage, the first real one this year was pretty exciting. Michael Rogers was riding to win the Tour until his crash. So sad.
Rasmussens a gun and awesome to watch. He's definitely up there with Pantani. But surely he cant win because he cant time trial.
So with rogers gone, its wide open. I dont think Vinokourov or Kloden can come back unless they get some Llandis style drugs happening. So that leaves Valverde, Moreau?!, Evans (as much as I'd like to see him win, I cant see him doing any damage on the steeper gradients) and perhaps Menchov & Sastre.
At the moment I have to bet with Valverde. If only Rogers didnt crash...
