2007 Tour de France

I am highly dismayed at the news reporting about Rasmussen missing the deadlines for filing his journal paperwork. Ok, he should have filed it, and he's suspsended from those races (them's the rules), but the media shouldn't make it into a firestorm, and they should under no circumstances report that he tested positive for something.

I loved watching him win the first Pyrenees stage. It was him and Contador going up. It was great. Hincapie did great, Leipheimer came in early, and Kloden might do something. I'm sad that Vinokourov dropped back and lost so much time. I don't think he can make much of it up.
