Of COURSE i am.

i dare not even bring it up here though, for shame. The only other person who might get in on the word is Cloudy, but since he has no americans to chase, he's likely lost interest. Levi never had a chance, and he's never been involved in any pacemaking for Contador.. hardly been worth much of anything for the team other than respectably just being a face towards the front.

Wasn't surprised to see Valverde fail...
after the Alps I thought Cadel had it for sure, but the first day in the Pyrenees shows it all to be quite different.

Rasmussen & particularly Contador are genuinely exciting to watch, Conto dancing away spinning his high gears, in and out of the saddle and Rasmussens attacks on the front9 in stage14to 'Beille were inspired & made him seem far more deserving of the Yellow than I had thought before. But it makes for a bit of a disappointment for some people that both he & Rasmussen will likely finish outside of the top 5 in the TimeTrial on Saturday and yet still win the GC (although personally I loved it when Pantani won.. pure climbers are much fun to watch.)

but now Vino just got tapped for homologous blood doping today, from a test that was administered after his TimeTrialwin on Saturday... Kloden pulls out as well along with the whole Astana squad......

sad news to a beautiful 2+weeks thus far.
