redfiona99Once again, rather sadly, it's the comedy round up that best captures the spirit du Tour.

Worth a read even if you're not a fan of the cycling.
Edit: Also this bit from the previous day
A tribute to CSC
A 33-year-old former climber who wins atop Alpe d'Huez and miraculously morphs into an expert time trialler to win the Tour; a time-trial champion who can lead the team over the highest cols in the Alps at a blistering pace; a German water-carrier who can do the same; a washed up former Australian sprinter who - beat this - can do exactly the same too; a unit that drives the peloton 24-7 like a metronome; a breakaway stage winner; two of the most talented brothers since the Nevilles hit Manchester; a mastermind tactician in Bjarne Riis. Is there anything CSC cannot do?
