Anybody look at this? It should be pretty cool. It finishes on Ventoux! I have already started to lobby my wife to go over and see it but I am not sure she gives in (she reacts to global economic news like a NYSE trader and has clamped down on our budget).

Also, did you see the TTT is back but with a twist? This time, as I understand it, the actual individual times of each rider will count toward their GC standing. To me, this now makes Contador really happy to have Lance back because even if Lance can't win the whole thing, especially after racing the Giro, he would be a super-domestique in a TTT. Funny how this stuff goes, eh?
