Any thoughts on whether the race was more or less drug free this year?

I enjoyed watching Vandevelde this year. Schumacher while attacking on the last two stages of the alps, never seemed to have the gas to climb with the leaders, so he will have to work on that.
I felt it was cleaner. I never saw this year one or two riders that just flew off the front of the pack and took 3-4 minutes on one stage, (with the exception of Ricco, who was caught). this always seemed to happen before.
Cavendish was amazing as well, and I hope he finishes next year to see him sprint the last stage.
