Good to see Microsoft no longer considers this site a serious security threat to my perosnal details.
Tour over for another year. Had some good moments and some real tough days. I dont know if it was just me but there seems to be a lot more mountains stages finishing at the end of a 20km descent rather than mountain top.
A highlight was seeing Lance in a long opportunist break after his tour was over.
Highlight for me was seeing him dropped on the Col de Ramez on stage 8 after his crash (on the roundabout) by Team Sky (just about the only time we ever saw them at the front besides starting their leadouts too early), Passo de Gois 1999 anyone?? Alex Zulle 6min??? (if you don't get the reference look it up) But hey i don't really like him and i'll readily admit that.
Edit: i think that break he was in on stage 16 showed that he never had the climbing form to challenge anyway, ie. if you were challenging for the Tour you shouldn't be struggling to stay with Carlos Barredo and Perrick Fredrigo when climbing
