Any thoughts on whether the race was more or less drug free this year?
Maybe I want so badly for it to be clean that it has clouded my judgement a little but I bet this was the cleanest tour since the late eighties. The site of Ricco being lead away by the cops has got to make a lasting impression on the rest of the riders.

As a side note I find it a little funny that Luxembourg can place three riders higher then the leading French guy.
