This year's Tour was just so predictable--Armstrong and Basso at the top. Not enough of anything happened--not enough attacks, not enough smart tactics within teams and between teams. Too many good riders going down early: Zabriskie, Voigt, Boonen, Valverde. And I miss Cipo in the early flat stages and Virenque in the mountains. I think next year will be a better Tour. Everyone will be more aggressive. Too many riders this year and the last were just sitting back and watching Armstrong.
