this is supposedly Cadel, after winning the stage. I guess he was going to ride to wherever he was staying? ...and got pulled over by the cops...

It would be amusing if he's been yanked over because the copper thought he was the typical weekend warrior.

This race is like a classic season compressed into one week. All the good one-day guys have shown up.

Thanks for the link. That were some good final kms, and conditions didn't look too bad. I saw this tweet by Cancellara earlier today and expected a huge scandal to have happened. But wet cobbles, that's it?

Yesterday's stage was cool, too, didn't look like much on paper but it was reaaalllly windy and as a result pretty chaotic.

Taken down or moved?

e: watching commentary for USA Pro Challenge. I thought for a while, people were pronouncing Voigt as Fogt, not Voit. But now they're back to Voit?

Dang looks like it was taken down for some reason. There was discussion of JTL in it, maybe cos of that? He has accepted his 2 year ban. Secret pro basically said, everyone knew he was on it. Another tid bit was that MTN qubeka was picking up more star riders, which leads me to think Boassen Hagen is going there.
