Exciting stage 16 today. One rider who was in the lead group went off the road, luckily it wasn't off a cliff. A spectator had to help him back to the road. Scary to watch. Tomorrow is more Alps. I love the Alps stages.

I'm surprised a CSC rider hasn't failed a test yet.


I'm still standing by this comment.

Edit: Sastre had a great day, too bad for Cadel. We'll see what happens with the TT.

The strength of the whole CSC team in the last two mountain stages leads me to believe Stagnant is correct in expecting someone to be caught doping.

However, I hope the rest of the tour is clean (probably not, doping is rampant in the sport). Exciting stuff yesterday. 3 HC climbs in a single stage. Alpe d'Huez is wonderful to watch. All of the attacks on the last climb are so exciting to watch. Everyone is trying to punish the leaders, and the leaders are trying to punish all of their competitors. God I love it.

The whole stage seems impossible. I think I'd be tired just driving the damn thing.

I guess we aren't the only ones who suspect something...

Well...Sastre and his CSC (Can't Stop Chemistry) team pulled it off. I wanted Cadel to do it, but so be it.
