    5th win for Lance Armstrong, its on the cards, with one stage to go,
    Once team losing Beloki in the early stages was a disaster, Jose Azevedo waited for his leader losing four minutes, had a good trial stage but today on the last trial stage he fall again but was able to finish, his know 26th overall one of the best on the team, his concentrating on La Vuelta, last year he finish 6th, so its a big disappointment but its important to finish the race at all costs.

    congratulations to Jose Azevedo, shame Maia Milaneza was not pick to be one of the teams on the tour they could be a big surpise like last year la vuelta.

    after a bunch of falls Jose Azevedo finish's in 26th position
    will be in New York next Sunday and then will be full concentration for La Vuelta in Spain

    ONCE team lost favorite Beloki and Galdeano early in the race do to injuries

    Jose Azevedo finish last year tour in 6th position


    26º lugar vale 579 euros

    Ao terminar em 26º na geral, José Azevedo recebeu apenas 579 euros (cerca de 115 mil escudos), muito pouco se comparado com os 400 mil euros ganhos por Lance Armstrong. A US Postal foi a equipa que mais dinheiro ganhou em prémios. A formação de Lance Armstrong - curiosamente, ontem multada em 6300 francos suíços, cerca de 4000 euros, por não ter respeitado os regulamentos em relação ao equipamento - amealhou um total de 482 138 euros (perto de cem mil contos).

    Domingo em Nova Iorque

    José Azevedo regressa hoje a Portugal mas apenas ficará dois dias com a família. "A minha vida é assim. Desde Fevereiro que não sei o que é estar em casa". Na quinta-feira, o ciclista português volta a meter-se num avião, viajando para Nova Iorque, onde, no domingo, participará no Critério daquela cidade. Depois, será tempo de começar a preparar a Vuelta.
