Oscar Pereiro won in 2006 on a Campagnolo equipped bike.

'won' you say...

Vinokourov was interviewed on the Lemond on Tour segment on British Eurosport after the day's stage, I think maybe yesterday.

He's been on quite a bit.

[maquisard]

Lemond, aka mr hypocrisy

[caddis]

It looke'd like Nibali was holding back today a little bit. I think he would have taken Majka...

[Wingnut]

Lemond, aka mr hypocrisy

And what do we call you "Mr ......"?

[maquisard]

I don't criticise guys who are open about there doping like Landis, I don't praise dopers like Pantani in films, I don't buddy up to Vino on TV...

I am not Mr Lemond.

I don't criticise guys who are open about there doping like Landis..

Criticize. Their.

And Landis was caught, confessed, and proceeded to attempt to blacken everyone else's reputation around him. If anything, that makes him as bad as Lance. Lance was just better..

[Pharmstrong]

Criticize. Their.

No, it's criticise.

Team Sky must be feeling a lot of pressure now that Majka and TCS have at least won a stage to salvage their TdF after Alberto has abandoned. Sky looks like their race is pretty much down in the dump with no hope in GC and no stage wins at all.

p/s Full disclosure: I don't dislike Sky, but I just don't favour their fan club. Annoying to say the least..

[ichobi]

Well Nieve is their best shot. He will try again in the Pyranese for sure. The gradient would suit him better but seeing so many teams have no win and everyone wants to be in the break... Its going to be tough.

[kbbpll]

Yes, I was just thinking today how the Sky train was supposedly going to steamroll the TdF, only a couple short weeks ago, and now look at it. Carnage. Nibali shows no signs of cracking but just imagine if something Cavendishschleckfroomecontadorcancellaratallansky-ish happens to him in the Pyranees... It's been a more interesting tour for me than the last couple years. I wonder when we'll see Jens pull a Stage 1 move again - I can't help but think Trek is begging for some more coverage like that. Stage 16 maybe; old guys need a nap day.

[jmilliron]

Thanks captain obvious,

Actually, I'm a Commander.
