Professional Cycling For the Fans - Your new TDF Podium (subject to today's drug tests) SPOILER

Ok, your new podium in Paris as long as everyone pees clean from here.

1) Contador;
2) Evans;
3)Leipheimer.

Evans would have to make up almost 2 minutes in the TT to overtake COntador,and Levi would have to make up almost a mionute to move ahead of Evans.

In the first TT Evans bested Contador by just over a minute, and 1:25 over LEipheimer.

So if it goes to form, the above order is correct.

Based on Levi's improving form, and Evans little bit of weakness today, I'm thinking Levi has an outside chance of passing Evans, but not likely.

1) Worst.
2) TdF.
3) Ever.

1) Worst.
2) TdF.
3) Ever.

Unfair, based on that podium. It should be:

1. TdF
2. Worst.
3. Ever.

I don't care *who* wins. It was a great tour - perhaps the most entertaining one I've seen, especially if there'd been a great effort in the TT - up until about three days ago.

I've watched the TDF as closely as you could in America since the early 80's and followed it in Cycling Magazines in the 70's. I can remember calling Velonew's 900 number for live updates of the key mountain stages in the Lemond era. I've been to the TDF twice.

This tour and last year's were 2 of the best I've followed (with only a few in my personal experience as good or better, such as Lemond in 86, and 89, Armstrong's 5th win in 2003) And now they are both irrevocably F'd.

*shrug*

I'll watch again next year. Some people like "professional" wrestling. I like "professional" cycling.

Assumes it will still be on TV. Might start looking into paying for the Cycling TV website.
