Was on Eurosport this afternoon and also on a Spanish channel on Sky 795 i think.

Eurosport are showing it every day at various times

I saw the prologue on TV last night, on account of being in Galicia on holiday (back now). Prologue team time trial, hmm, slightly different.

And Astana were racing. I thought they'd been kicked out for doping, or was that only from Le Tour?

Astana were only kicked off the TdF

I am watching it daily .Well,sort of watching it.It's on the telly while I am working & it's a bit like watching paint dry atm.I am hoping that it gets a little more interesting after the next couple of days when they get into areas which are not dominated by long,flat roads.

Well, Contador won and has now won all 3 grand tours in the space of 14 months.
For some reason I refuse to rate him, but is that undeserved? Is he that good?
I still can't help thinking of him as a sniveling little cheat, an accusation he hasn't really done anything to deserve...
(Probably linked to the Rasmussen scandal, who seemingly was a sniveling little cheat, but since I supported him, it's tough to admit).

He seems to be 'superhuman' or whatever the phrase is!
