I wonder what the folks defending LA would say if another team stopped the race to put on red jersey's to bring attention to animal rights and PETA. And suppose every single team wanted to do the same for their pet cause?

The Saxo banks boys have pulled over to change jerseys..Looks like their jerseys promote Scientology, a non-profit group dedicated to world domination and good will...What's this? Andy Schleck is visibly upset as Alberto Contador did not wait for Andy to finish changing his jersey and passed right by him to assume the lead. Oh my goodness, Alberto now leads by 8 seconds!

I mean at some point we should stop believing our pet causes trump all other rituals, rules and traditions. No doubt the Lance foundation does important work, but this was over the top. It's not like LA and his cause have to resort to gimmicks to get air time.
