(The Tour Caravan 2009)
With Ricco and Piepoli getting caught for using the 3rd generation red blood cell booster, CERA, I started wondering to what extent teams and riders are going to go to in order to cheat. I'm betting we'll see the "Cheech and Chong Method" of dope delivery.
There's got to be some dumbass out there right now saying, "no, really, they'll never figure it out." o_O
Officials already know to search IN the cars of the riders' friends and family, just ask Papa Schleck. But, come on, what if the dope WAS the car? Uh huh, I'm telling you...

Contador would have won.
After watching the way the group rode through the mountains, I'm pretty sure Contador would have kicked ass in this years race. For all the attacking, team pulling and marking going on, what was missing was the EXPLOSIVE attacks of Contador.
I think his style would have neutralized the Schlecks (Andy is CRAZY good btw) and put everyone else in trouble. With race fit Contador, Kloden and Leipheimer, Astana would have rolled em.
But, we'll never know...

Cunego, damn.
I'm a HUGE DC fan and was disappointed that he left his "A Game" somewhere else. But I was especially bummed to hear of his crash and withdrawal from the Tour today. He couldn't even get a break. He's still young enough to go for some Grand Tour glory, but he may soon have ask himself if he's more of Classics rider and smaller stage races.
Hang in there DC!
