He's a great rider. <BR/>There are some goegeous knits here and I have thoroughly enjoyed this KAL. I have learned so much, finished some annoying projects with all your help and have been inspired by some great crafters. I don't know what I'll do when this is over.Anghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04893549325790189733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7687593818842285623.post-89085285868741719632007-07-27T01:59:00.000+02:002007-07-27T01:59:00.000+02:00In all my woo-hooing over Cadel, I have been guilt...In all my woo-hooing over Cadel, I have been guilty perhaps of overlooking Contador. He is such an exciting rider to watch, his attacks have breathed new life into the Tour, and he's so young I'm sure he's going to become a household name. <BR/>Tam - you're such a crackup. For those of you who might have forgotten the momentous Stephen Bradbury event, he was the first Aussie ever to win gold at the Winter Olympics...and he only did so because everyone else in his speed skating race fell over and didn't make it to the finish line. Luckily for Stephen, he was so far behind the pack that he had time to safely pick his way around the tangle of bodies on the ice and skate in comfort over the finish line. Look, it's a win and we'll take it any way we can get it!Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09917833708894680350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7687593818842285623.post-74690893812871618762007-07-27T00:36:00.000+02:002007-07-27T00:36:00.000+02:00Watching Levi and Contador alternating the attack ...Watching Levi and Contador alternating the attack was really cool.<BR/><BR/>Anyone else amused by the fact that Cofidis was one of the participants in the pre race protest (I've heard they were the ones who originally organized it) against doping by cyclists and it turned out they had to withdraw because one of their own tested positive for and admitted to using testosterone?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14425432770758003543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7687593818842285623.post-26110951503311744122007-07-26T23:59:00.000+02:002007-07-26T23:59:00.000+02:00Here's hoping the rest of the best are clean.

I'm inching toward completing Brigitte's collar, and then it's on to the sleeves. <BR/><BR/>I've been deeply suspicious of Rasmussen since the time trial and I feel it's right that action was taken against him - he really shouldn't have started the Tour in the first place, and it highlights the need for better cooperation between all the governing bodies. I'm excited to watch Levi, Contador, and Cadel fight it out in the time trial, which should be a real thriller, but I feel bad that there's another cloud hanging over the race now.Sarah / Blue Garterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11615359405884245263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7687593818842285623.post-21553415124145042282007-07-26T19:12:00.000+02:002007-07-26T19:12:00.000+02:00What great progress everyone is making!
