SHIT luck for Miller. Not a sure win, but no chance because of a mechanical just plain blows. Looks like somebody put the "stink eye" on English speaking cyclists....well, except for Cav.

What levers was the Gerolsteiner rider using? Are they the new Shimino ones for next year, seem carbon.
Tough luck for Millar, today was my first day out of the hospital after I broke my chain and (no helmet) landed on my head, bust my ear drum on Sunday. Couldn't throw my bike though as I had blood flowing out of my ear. Still, I'd take a busted ear drum to landing on my balls!

CONGRATULATIONS TINKOFF!


They got through a stage without knocking anyone off.

Apparently one of their riders took the stage victory as well. Well done for that.

No truth in the rumour the Tinkoff mechanic was seen near Millars bike with a chainbreaker before the start.

.....and to think how many more people would have been knocked off if they kept Tyler Hamilton.

Mr. Tinkoff is going to buy Brutt a 7 bedroom house now complete with 4 wives in each room.
