well the first South African to win a stage Robbie Hunter from team Barloworld(a wild card team 1st time in tour) who are having a good tour atm. David Millar was in the original break away. it may of succeeded if it was not for the orders of vinokourov to tell his team to up the pace, because moreau was left behind and he still see`s him as a threat.

well done tom boonen for winning the 12th stage in a mass sprint. i felt sorry for the 2 riders that got caught with just a kilometre to go.
time trial stage 13. 1 man dominated it Alexandre Vinokourov. absoloutly tore them apart. well done to Bradley Wiggins finishing 5th on the stage(british). Rasmussen is still in yellow by 1 minute from Cadel Evans(australia). Pyrenees tommow,monday and tuesday so it should be interesting, watch out for Alberto Contador(american team discovery), with his explosive turn of pace up the mountains.

a fantastic ride of le poulet - Rasmussen. He is still nr. 1. And drove fantastic today.
Looks forward to see what will happen in the pyrenees the next days...Just a little correction daz - the will have a day off tuesday, and the last day in the pyrenees will be on wednesday....
Still hoping for Denmark and Rasmussen. If he not will win, then Carlos Sastre from CSC (denmark), and after him Contador....The rider who impressed me the most in this tour...

Rabo Bank team goin all the way this year
I told some people that earlier, and no one believed me, cause Menchov was the only seriously considered competitor before the tour started
RABO BANK, woooooo

Discovery has this tour no problem. Rasmussen will lose the jersey either in the pyranees or the time trial. Go DISCOVERY! CONTADOR! LEIPHEIMER!

I always thought of Rasmussen as the first man of the team, Menchov just can't hack 3 weeks. Rasmussen can. BTW, they did a great job on getting Rasmussen to the top today & Saunier Duval had total carp tactics.

what a day. the tou was magnificent today. on the last climb they were attacking all the time. Contador was brilliant, but he will have to come out tomorrow and match rasmussen to keep him in check. i did feel sorry for Cadel Evans, because every single move from rasmussen and contador , he followed until he could not kepp up. do not write off Andreas Klodden, he just kept at his pace and picked of the riders in front of him.

I think tomorrow, Leipheimer is gonna attack a lot and possibly take that stage. Or Contador may attack again. Another Discovery stage win is my call.

the logo annoys me.. It looks like it says "Le de Tour France" They should put the "de" further down

haha, well, Rabobank is still way up there.
You can never write them off completely, they have talent.
Decker might show some stuff later too, hes a pretty good rider
and, mennchov I thought was considered their #1, I could be wrong though, but there was a lot of hype goin on about him
Rasmussen still goin, I don't think anyones ever gonna under estimate him ever agian

yeah.
I liked todays race, it was amazing
Boogard did an amazing job, hes a very good ridder.
I seem to remember him winning a stage a few years ago, but I can't remember.
And Rasmussen and, just wow, incredible finish.
Just amazing, those two guys pulling away there

It was one long sprint Rasmussen and Contandor made in the end....
Really superb finish....
Perfect stage today as well...Im just a little dissapointed over CSC and especially Frank Schlecht, expect much more from him this year...

hats off to vinokourov. he lost 28 minutes yesterday and to come back and win todays stage which was even harder is quite remarkable. Rasmussen better watch out for Contador on wednesday, because if he attacks a bit earlier he can win this. he is a better time trialer and todays attacks just gave rasmussen a warning of what he can still do. he broke him and realised it was to close to the top to get any time gains.
also a big up to Yarislav Popovych, he has got guts that rider.

I don't know man
Rasmussen has an incredibly talented team this year to back him up
Menchov, Boogard, and Decker will help him out, all expierenced ridders, they will do whatever it takes to help Rasmussen keep the yellow Jersey
I too wish to tip my hat to Vonokourov, excellent run, the fight at the end between Rasmussen and Contador kind of made the vitory a littel less I think, because everyone was concentrated on that
I do believe that Rasmussen can still win the tour, Contador is an amazing ridder, but, he seems a little cocky, with six attacks, I can only wonder how long he can keep that up for. I'm certain that he will finish second, and probably win the tour somewhere, either next year or the year after.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!RaBo BanK all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i am not really bothered who wins. i just like to watch some good racing. i don`t support any cycling team as such.

thats cool
I've always been a rabo bank fan, ever since I first watched the tour.
its probablt because of their dutchness, they have a lot of dutch riders, and Rabo bank is generally dutch as well.
Thats gotta be it =)

it said on the radio 1 news that Vinokourov has failed a drugs test after the time trial on saturday. no wonder he flew up them mountains yesterday.

Im a CSC fan....Guess the same reasons why johnny hope rabobank to win....
Before they startet I just hoping for danish riders to win....
Btw - only one danish rider in the tour this year....You know who???
Has nothing to say to what Vinokurov has done - just stupid. But must say that its a litte hard to kick the whole Astana team out of the tour....But guess its those kinds of concequences(bad spelling

) there are needed to stop the use of doping....I hope so....

i would not of thought Klodden is linked to this,but if the team is asked to leave, then it has no choice. otherwise it will not be aloud in next year probably.
