Tour de France

The biggest sport event of the year the Tour de France is starting today in London. The doping scandals have been immense until now and still not over.
The court decision on the of dope accused winner of last year Floyd Landis is scheduled for the first days of the Tour. And that is not all. Everybody is waiting for the confession of Jan Ulrich.

Tour de France - Rasmussen

The Tour de France 2005 has been decided. The mountainous time stage has been driven. For some people the length of the Tour has been too long. The King of the Mountains (winner of the 'polka dot jersey' collapsed in sight of harbor and could not maintain his 3th place overall finishing on place 77 in the stage!
The disaster started with a fall on one of the first rotundas, the changing of the wrong bicycle, the changing of a wheel,again a new bicycle, a holed wheel and a crash in a ditch. Nothing seems to be saved for Danish Mickael Rasmussen on the last Saturday of the Tour de France 2005, breaking the lean guy completely. This meant a fall to the 7th place overall.
A superior Lance Armstrong demonstrated how to win for the 7th time the Tour the France. This has been the last time to see an historical sequence of wins of the most perfectionistic professional cyclist of the world. I do not think this will ever be reached again!
And Rasmussen? This was his one and only change to reach the 1-2-3 platform overall. Just missing it!

Tour de France
At this moment the Tour de France is reaching its climax. Today the Tour has climbed the east parts of the Pyrenees. But what could have been a change of power lead to nothing, Lance Armstrong is and was the best. Only Basso could stay in his footprint.
As you can see my cats (I have at the moment 1 Grandmother, 2 mothers, 1 daughter and 5 kittens) don't mind at all, they just like the nice weather in the Netherlands.
