... about any particular rider this year. It's been rather funny...
Because of the time difference, I don't watch the Tour broadcasts live. But the last couple of afternoons, I've caught one of the rebroadcasts. And on both days, they've ended the telecast with glowing descriptions of the "brave rides" of the stage winners. And *right* after each stage, both riders were disqualified and sent home for doping or suspious behavior. Sorta makes your accolades ring hollow...
Today was especially funny, as they were wrapping up talking about how Rasmussen had a fabulous ride, how he showed the spirit of a true winner, and how inspiring it was after Vinokourov left a black mark on the sport and event after yesterday's disqualification for doping.
