    Talansky will NOT be at the Tour, but will be at the Vuelta.

    So what's Cannondale's Tour plan now? Stage wins? Dombrowski?

    According to Cyclingnews, it's for Dombrowski to get stage wins.

    Should be an interesting Tour. That last week is more like the last week of a Giro.

    You sure? Dombrowski wasn't on the announced roster. Sounds like Rolland is their GC man.

    Rolf Adag + Mark Cavendish + Mark Renshaw = stage wins and sprint points.

    You're right. I went back and looked and it was Rolland as the GC guy and Howes looking for stage wins.

    Good to see Cav start with his first day Yellow. Something he wanted badly at home in Harrogate when he crashed out.

    I stand corrected. Add Bernie Eisel to the equation. Forgot he was back together with the boys.

    Can they clone and resurrect Hincapie?

    Another photo finish today.
    They've announced Kittel as the winner. For a moment it looked like the little Frenchman Coquard had taken it.
    Looked "to me" that Coquard was pushing too high a gear to take the line.

    Wow!!! They've just shown the photo. Looks like 1/4 inch in it.

    Cav is doping! Sorry I'm late to the party. Was hiking in the Adirondacks over the weekend and I come home to some old-timer with two stage wins? Oh well, normalcy was restored today. Wow that was a close finish.

    Fun stage tomorrow. I'm guessing a break will go. To pick a rider at random, Rui Costa.

    Which part of the Adirondacks? I went out to Whetstone Gulf a few years ago (I guess that's technically not the Adirondacks) in October. The leaves were changing. It was beautiful.
