2 X 2

Even Turns Of Pace... The leading trio are sharing the workload well. French Television has estimated the percentage of time each of the men in the escape group are spending on the front. The breakdown is as follows: Cedric Herve (AGR) - 35% Ruben Perez (EUS) - 33% Marcel Sieberg (MRM) - 32%

Leaders In Ramskapelle Sieberg (MRM), Perez (EUS) and Herve (AGR) are now at the 73.5km mark. They are 4?40" ahead of the peloton that continues to be led by riders from the CSC team. Also hovering near the head of the pack are riders from the Quickstep and Astana squads.

Papa Kashechkin Andrey Kashechkin will have extra motivation for a good performance in the Tour de France. The rider who finished third in the Vuelta A Espana last year - and is part of the Astana squad at this year?s Tour - has just become a father. His wife just gave birth to a 3.2kg baby boy called David.

100km To Go The leading trio are 100km from the finish of today?s stage. They started their escape at the 18km mark and are currently 5?50" ahead of the peloton.

Hendrik mens kan in elk geval nie iets daar post nie. Dit se "approval pending"

He he, ek het kontakte

Het ook gevra, admin het gese TCS adverteer die hub op hul kit en dit was een van die oorwegings punte om vir hulle hul eie spasie te gee

Peloton At 57km Mark The bunch is still being controlled by the CSC team. It is at the 57km mark and its deficit to the leading trio - Sieberg, Perez and Herve - is up to 5?00".

Miskien, as jy die hub op jou kit adverteer

Dis soos piesangs en bananas

Will they wait for me if I fall behind

Mampara, have alook at this site: http://www.letour.fr/

You only have to register your kit if you apply for a full licence, it does not apply for cyclo licence As far as I know, for a full licence you have to register through a club as well. Looks like they are making this exception only for cyclo licence

Gonzalez Ramirez had to retire today after riding into the back of a car on yesterdays stage Sorry for the hubbers that have him in their team

Hier byt ek jou en dan is jy so nice met my Backlash2007-07-09 06:34:24

Sammajoor, maar jy het mos 'n cyclo licence

Sammajoor met al die stront wat jy praat is ek verbaas jy was nie gouer daar nie

Hendrik, jammer om van jou dilemma te hoor. Sterkte vir jou toekoms. Sit jou hoop op Die Een wat alles vir ons doen. Bid vir jou

Het dit laas naweek gedoen. Die laaste rondte oor Tom Jenkins

We're also doing it, staying at Manyane again. Excellent camp to stay. Just hope the wind will be weaker Btw, Sammajoor is organizing our campsites and he'll also be the Kamp Kommandant. It's going to be FUN!
