Are there now only 2 Grand tours?
If the TDF is going to turn into a joke every year, as it has for 5 of the past 6, then it must have its staus as a grand tour threatened! I truely thought this tour would be differant, but no! Once again the top riders fail to fire or make the start line.

Well, Armstrong apparently did not fail to ride well...  On a different note, who cares if the big boys that we all thought would take on Armstrong did not? We have been pleasantly surprised by a crop of younger new riders who were able to hang with Lance on the uphill finishes (which didn't happen last year, after all). People like Basso and Kloden are (hopefully) the future of the GCs, maybe when Armstrong finally gets tired of winning the Tour!  In any event, at least there was some mystery until the TT yesterday, with Basso staying with Armstrong. Maybe they will learn from their mistakes in CSC and actually train for the TTT and work more on Basso's clearly limited TT skills!
