Friday, July 11: Oh hell! Manuel Beltran of the Liquigas team has tested postive for EPO in stage 1 of this year's Tour de France. The French police took Beltran away for questioning today. His Tour is over. The team remains in the race so far. Beltran was in 26th place, 3min 20sec down. This isn't the first time EPO and Beltran have been linked. When the famous retest of 1999 urine samples was performed and L'Equipe wrote that several samples were postive for EPO, Lance Armstrong wasn't the only rider accused by the French sports paper. Beltran's sample was also said to be postive for EPO.

Rest Day, Tuesday July 15: Pau

---

Wednesday, July 16: Some news. Barloworld's Moises Duenas Nevado has been withdrawn from the Tour after he tested positive for EPO in the stage 4 time trial.

The Pro Tour is dead. [2012 note: I was sure wrong about that!] During the rest day in Pau, 17 teams announced that they would not buy Pro Tour licenses for the 2009 season. This puts an end to the UCI's attempt to turn cycling into another Formula 1 and its bald grab for power and money (such as television licensing fees). Good riddance. Several smaller important races died because of the Pro Tour.

Thursday, July 17: According to the L'Equipe web site, Saunier Duval rider Riccardo Riccò has tested postive for EPO (CERA -Continuous Erythropietin Receptor Activator) for July 3 and July 4. Riccò was sitting in ninth place at 2 minutes, 29 seconds behind Cadel Evans. Riccò, who has been taken into police custody, is out of the Tour as is his entire Saunier Duval team.

Instead of being a young, brash rider, he turns out to be a loudmouthed cheat. This is the third rider to be caught doping in this year's Tour and all have Spanish connections (either Spanish riders or riders for Spanish teams). Hey, Spanish federation and judges, time to stop protecting the cheaters and start cleaning things up.

Friday, July 18: La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that the Saunier Duval team has fired Riccardo Riccò and Leonardo Piepoli for violating the team's code of ethics (I would guess that would be doping). There are rumors of another doping postive and speculation is centering on Piepoli who has gone to his home in Monaco. Saunier Duval is said to be considering withdrawing its sponsorship, thereby killing the team. Ricco insists that he is innocent ("Non mi sono dopato.").

Extrapolating the stage 4 time-trial results, my arithmetic shows Cadel Evans gaining around 2.5 seconds per kilometer over Carlos Sastre. One would expect Evans to beat Sastre today by around 2 minutes. That would erase the 1min 34sec deficit and give Evans the Tour win. I don't think one can put this fine an edge to today. The riders are all tired and I think it will come down to who is the freshest. Sastre has been Casper the Friendly Ghost the entire tour until L'Alpe d'Huez. He hasn't burned a needless watt. I think it will be like 1989, a matter of a few seconds either way and impossible to predict.

Race details and look at important contenders

Thursday, October 24: The Tour de France revealed the 2008 route. Running from Saturday July 5th to Sunday July 27th 2008, the 95th Tour de France will be made up of 21 stages and will cover a total distance of 3,500 kilometers.

The time-trialing is reduced and there will be no prologue time trial to start the Tour.

These 21 stages have the following profiles:

10 flat stages,

5 mountain stages,

4 medium mountain stages,

2 individual time-trial stages.

Distinctive aspects of the race

4 mountain finishes,

2 rest days,

82 kilometers of individual time-trials,

19 Category 1, Category 2 and Hors Category passes will be climbed.

Friday, July 4: The Tour de France starts tomorrow with a road stage instead of a prologue time trial. I think this is going to be one of the most interesting and enjoyable Tours in years. Here's how I see the major GC players:

1. Cadel Evans (Silence-Lotto). Evans doesn't do anything badly. He can climb with all but the most gifted specialist climbers. His time-trialing is excellent. The net effect is a rider who doesn't bleed drips and drabs of time all over France. His fans get frustrated because he isn't flashy. He rides like a skilled stage racer who knows the race is 3 weeks long. He doesn't needlessly burn his matches. His 2008 second place at only 23 seconds behind Contador speaks volumes about his horsepower and tactical savvy. His Achilles heel could be his team. How hard will they work for Robby McEwen stage wins rather than saving their watts for Cadel in the final week? He's my pick for Yellow in Paris.

2. Denis Menchov. Menchov seems to be like Jan Ullrich. He needs a lot of hard racing to come to form. His 2 Vuelta wins (admittedly his 2005 victory came when Roberto Heras was disqualified for doping) show that it takes a lot of work to get this Russian machine to fire on all cylinders. Like Evans, he races carefully and uses his time trialing to seal the deal. He's my pick for second place.

3. Damiano Cunego. The Little Prince might have been the supremely gifted racer of our time if he hadn't been felled by mononucleosis. His return to the masterful form he exhibited in 2004 when his seemed to win the Giro almost by accident has been slow. If he's back (he won Amstel Gold this year), he'll be formidable. My pick for 3rd.

4. Alejandro Valverde. He's a brilliant rider who doesn't seem to be able to sustain the rigors of the third week of a Grand Tour. He seems to peak too early. This year he won Liège-Bastogne-Liège and the Dauphiné. I don't think he can sustain that level of form all the way through July. The other Tour contenders will kill him in the stage 20 time trial if he comes out of the mountains alive. I see him in the top 5 in Paris if he's lucky.

5. Andy Schleck. Great rider. Second in the 2007 Giro shows his promise. Needs more time to get to Tour winning level. But who knows? His CSC team is scary-strong.

6. Carlos Sastre. What a fine rider. I want him to do well but even though he was third in 2006, I don't see him riding on Evans' level. He is willing to take terrific chances in the mountains. I see him in the top 5 and if Cunego and Valverde do a melt-down, he'll make another trip to the podium.
