can lance still win a 7th tour?

the last two days stages of the tdf promised some action, and of course, i was there to witness it first hand via french tv replay.
i was busy doing a little shopping.

anyway first gc shake up was the missed madison exchange btw lance spears, and some italian. d'oh! this allowed the schleckx to hold hands all the way to the top.

Lance Armstrong (Astana) congratulates Vincenzo Nibali (Liquigas) after crossing the finish line.

maybe track/madison racing is not lancey's forte? should he stick to cyclocross?
i think so. team radio shack would totally get mad blog hits if he raced 'cx'.
i think that 'cross' will be the next hot thing in cycling.

other big news on the day was pellis0tay's outfit was finally complete, and was complimented via matchy bicycle. well done. believe his ppl had seen thedispencer.blogspot.

Franco Pellizotti extended his mountains classification lead over Egoi Martinez.

not sure if the fact that the schlecks rode a tandem bicycle was uci legal, but i do know that it 'just looked kinda creepy'.

Fränk Schleck (Saxo Bank) wins stage 17.

there was another race today, but i didn't watch it.
seemed a little unimportant.
not really into 'dudes in funny hats'.

but, perusing the photos on cyclingnews, best look of the day goes to liquigas' weird little truck.
<3 weird little trucks, y'all.
hope to own an iveco someday.

Daniele Bennati (Liquigas)

do you think lance will win on ventoux via cyclocross skillz?
what will happen when team radio shack tries to use their radios for the very first time in 2010?
will they be subject to the same fate as garmin's 'remote-controlled/photoshopped helicopter'?
how many more ugly bikes will lance unveil before the race ends?
