Well I have returned from my bike trip. Boy am I tired now. Anyways while I have been gone the Tour de France continued. I did make that post two days age when I had access to the Internet. But now that I am home I can recap on the results I have still yet to watch today’s last stage. As soon as I see it I will recap on it. Anyways Congrats to the amazing Spaniard Alberto Contador to take the victory in his very first tour appearance. It has been an incredible past few weeks and Alberto completely surprised us all. Secretly I was rooting for him just cause he was the rookie even though I am a CSC fan. Is good to see a rookie put up an incredible tour hes gonna be an incredible force to be reckon in the future. He proved himself this past month and I am impressed. So long to being only a climber now Alberto’s gonna be a GC man. Well here’s the past two days results provided by velonews at velonews.com

Another major blow to cycling July 26, 2007

More and more blows are happening to this years Tour de France. Following Astana’s withdrawal comes today’s ejection of the yellow jersey holder Michael Rasmussen. Except today’s ejection came from within the Rabobank management. Michael had made a mistake by violating his team rules. Supposedly he stated that he was on a vacation in Mexico and would miss two mandatory drug tests. But today a former rider has come forward and stated that he saw Michael in Italy during that time period. This violated Rabobank’s rules and thus forced them to eject their leader. Now the yellow will be awarded to the 24 year old Alberto Contador from Team Discovery Channel. This also will advance Cadel Evans to second place and Levi Leipheimer is in third. This now places two riders from the Discovery Channel Team in the top three positions. It’s looking good for Alberto he deserves this victory if he team allows him to become the leader.

Once again I’m quite impressed! July 24, 2007

I have two words to say. Alberto Contador. This kid is gonna become a record setter in the future. He once again showed his incredible abilities on today’s I mean yesterday’s stage. He continuously attack Rasmussen on the second and last climbs of the day. Not only could you start to see that he wasn’t tiring even after stage 14’s win. Not only does this young kid deserve to win the white jersey he should also convince Johan Bruyneel’s strategy and make him their GC man. Even though Levi is not out yet Alberto deserves it after his incredible recent stages. Now all the riders can get their rest day and recover after such a tough past two days. Also I have an update on my new addition to the cyclist blog, iRide will be receiving a lot of pictures from the writers of the blog from their trip to Louisville. Feel free to check it out in the near future.

Tough day at the 5 stage of the tour de france July 12, 2007

Well today was a tough day it was the first day of categorised climbs plus a lot of action with all the falls. Unfortunately the falls really hurt Team Astana. Having Alexandre Vinokourov take a big wipe out and lose a ton of time and also having, second placed, Andreas Kloden get a hairline fracture in his hip due to a crash as well. This was one very bad day for poor the team Astana. Anyways Cancellara kept his yellow and Tom Boonen lost his green jersey to Eric Zabel. Here’s the complete results as usual provided by Velonews at Velonews.com

Is Fabian Invincible? July 12, 2007

I have to give an applause to Fabian Cancellara for his outstanding performance so far. His stage 3 sprint to the finish was a spectacular move. This time trail specialist some how managed to beat out some of the worlds best sprinters to take the win. This is very uncommon event for a rider like Cancellara to do. Even though he has accomplished this feat he will most likely lose the yellow as soon as the race hits the mountains. This year the early crashes are having a large effect on the field. The happenings of crashes near the finish wiping out the top sprinters is going to dramatically change the standings of this race this year. If these crash continue you all are going to witness a winner who wins by just avoiding these collisions. Teams are going to have to change their strategy just to avoid these such accidents to be able to either gain or keep the yellow jersey.
