Tour de France

Well, the Tour de France is over for another year, Lance Armstrong has won his 7th and is now retired - unlike many who only seem to know Lance, over the last few years I've become hooked on the strategies and the multiple "races within a race". So, two of my favorites now among cyclists are on the Davitamon-Lotto Cycling Team: Robbie McEwen, a sprinter who won 3 stages this year; and Cadel Evans , who came 8th overall in his 1st Tour de France. (Interesting that they are both Australian - maybe I'm in the wrong country given that another favourite sport of mine, triathlon, seems to be dominated by the Aussies ... and I really don't actually care that the NHL/NHLPA strike was settled).
