Seems to be rolling along nicely.

Millar is back in the game, but Pellizotti is in the lead. Boonen hasn't made his presence felt too much.

Today's stage was quite interesting. Boonen actually saluted after the sprint, thinking he had won...too bad some Russian guy won 12 seconds before that. Ooops. I am amazed that Kolobnev won as well. It probably looked like a long, small break was going to get gobbled up by the bunch for about the 3 millionth time in cycling history, but he just laid on the gas and stuck it out. I would have liked to see that; he must have been putting in a huge effort to keep that gap and not get swallowed up like the other riders.

Looks like the teams are out to get Discovery but apparently it doesn't matter much when you have a quiver of climbers like they do.

I voted Contador best young rider a couple years ago in the TdF. He sure busted out this race!

I remember that. Excellent prognostication.

Was I the only one who thought Millar was smoking crack to think that he could hold the jersey until the end?
Still, great race, gotta love how Disco really threw it down on the last day.
