Did you see the UCI list leaked by L'Equipe ranking last years Tour de France riders on suspicion of doping from 0-10? Absolute shambles that it's got out, as if there aren't enough actual doping scandals around we need to throw some presumed ones into the mix too. |

Maybe he doped, maybe he didn't, but damn if Contador doesn't have the most beautiful climbing style in the world. When he gets out of the saddle and puts the hammer down he looks like he's floating up the mountain. I might slap some money on him winning the hat-trick right now. |

After the ease with which he made it through the Pyranees, is anybody else starting to think that Voeckler is the favourite for this? Andy Schleck, as ever, doesn't seem to have the kick to distance people in the hills. Contador looks out of sorts, and even if he comes back into form in the alps he has 4 minutes to make up. I bet the Frogs are getting excited. |

One possible outcome for the next Tour is a situation similar to that of Astana when Armstrong butted in to Contador's team and they had two leaders. If that did happen, I think the most likely outcome would be that they race to see if one of them could open up a lead at the top, and then the other would step down and protect that lead. |

We are just far too good at cycling. It's hilarious hearing the French bitterly cry about us peaking so hard at the Olympics because they can't beat us. Jason Kenny absolutely pulled Bauge's pants down in that sprint final. Pendleton is looking unbeatable (I walked past Anna Meares' parents in the Olympic Park on the day of the Keirin and they looked glummer than glum, I can tell you), and I fancy her to absolutely smash the Sprint to sign off in style - I think it would make her the first ever British woman to win three Olympic golds. |

Wandered down to watch them go past this morning. They closed a lot of the roads in the village, and the bypass which is normally full of cars was closed. When the bikes went past, it took ages to walk back home as there were hundreds if not thousands of people walking along into the village.
