Finally some hot Schleck-on-Contador action! It looks like the charisma-free Aussie Cadel Evans might take the entire cake - after the tour he and Levi Leipheimer can start a clothing brand for weird dudes who are very good cyclists but lack what the cyclofan community calls "zazz."

How much would Rubinacci ask to line my jacket with this?
So the rumor is that the reason the tour has been so crash filled is that it is cleaner. Supposedly the steriods and hormones improve hand eye coordination. I don't know if it is tur but it does make some sense. Would like to see a good breakaway move that succeeds. Maybe Thurs or Friday on the real mountains???
Bob Roll and pals were predicting a major move from Contador tomorrow - if he's going to make one he'd better finish his mysterious tainted beef and get to it.
Tonight we'll be up from 10pm to 2am - as Ms fxh is convinced "Our Cadel" has planned it just right - no yellow jersey yet but within a minute of a win*.
Luckily Ms fxh doesn't work tomorra and has a thirst for shiraz
*barring a sekret shipment of Spanish sausage arriving or some stupid french idiot walking their goofy labrador without a lead on the road.
The downside is that if he wins for the next two weeks every idiot will be out on their new bike wobbling all over the bike paths and roads.
The worst is the big beefy jock, ex highschool bullies, will also be out , fully kitted on their "crabon" wheeled $3,000 road bikes aggressively running red lights, blowing off /sneering at/ running off the road, kids and old men recovering from surgery, hip ops and heart attacks and congratulating themselves while yelling "On your right" -
me: fuck off - ya dopey boof head.

Phil Ligget used the phrase "Schleck sandwich" today. Also it was a pretty spectacular stage. Now we can all have a nice long nap during the time trial and find out who won on Sunday.
With only 20ks to go our boy appears to be ahead on time and therefore winner of the TdeF
Ahead of the Schleck sandwich by one minute it looks like he's the winner unless they find the drugs, he crashes into a dopey French labrador, a drunken EU lout falls on his bike or his back wheel gets the wobbles again.
They should look in his chin-dimple for the drugs, he could hide almost anything in there. Beautiful treasures, or secrets. Rubies and sapphires.
But unless they find drugs he's the Open crotch panties JAUNE for LE TOUR 2011. After his amazing recovery yesterday he deserves it. Hooray for Australia!!
Congratulations to Cadel Evans and to our Aussie brethren on this thread. See you at the Vuelta.
