I agree with person who said Leipheimer needs to be very careful about Vino tomorrow

Jullich beat Basso in the stage rankings

Fantastic TT, I enjoyed it thoroughly except for Rasmussen's bad luck. No great surprises,but very entertaining.
Ok ,I am back to my usual routine now and will log more miles the next few weeks instead of just watching cycling.
Allez allez to me.

OLNTV LA: "You knowI was ambivalent. I wanted to go as far as I oculd, to represent the yellow jersey.... I wasn't sure I could do it.... You have to ride safely and conservatively.... Ended up turning things around and winning. Pleasant surprise." He's surrounded by his kids.

Most memorable tour? LA: "They're all special." Mentions 1, 3, 6 (most pressure). "This one, it's nice...."

musette

Thepaceline: "Stage 20: Lance logs a phenomenal Time Trial to win the day, then Ullrich and Basso! Rasmussen has a horrendous day and Ullrich moves into 3d, then Basso 2d, and Lance firmly in yellow."

Here in Australia, we lost the telecast (back to the cricket) just after Lance finished. How did MR look for the presentation of the jerseys?

They've gone to interviews : they show the presentation of the jerseys tonight
in the highlights prog.

Things going well at Lords ?????????????????????????

Great first day's viewing McGrath and Harmison both did great stuff.

Warne's starting to take control, another one just fell. Hopefully he can wrap things up tonight, or early tomorrow. That way the cycling telecast will start earlier for us (I hope).
