Sorry I am late with the updates, everyone! I am traveling again on business and just can’t seem to get caught up. Monday was a rest day at the Tour de France, with the riders getting ready for the ever-popular Alpe d’Huez. This time it is a 187 km stage from Gap to L’Alpe d’Huez. […]
Eleven was a lucky number for Floyd Landis (USA) of the Phonak team. After a gruelling 206.5 km stage that included a beyond category climb and then four (4!) first category climbs, Floyd took third place in the stage and did it in enough time (including his third place time bonus) to take the yellow […]
Not a good day for the race leaders and current favorites. The Tour hit the mountains and the leaders were left in the dust by what was essentially a two-man break most of the day. Juan Miguel Mercado (ESP) and Cyril Dessel (FRA) shared the work most of the day and the peloton never had […]

Just another day at the office for the Tour de France peloton as they pedaled their way through the wine-making region of Bordeaux and wound up the day in Dax, at the foot of the Pyrenees mountains.

T-Mobile’s riders are still safe atop the General Classification in the 2006 Tour de France after today’s 181 km stage from St-Meen-le-Grand to Lorient on the Brittany coast. The stage was won by Frenchman Sylvain Calzati who broke away from the peloton along with five other riders after 47 km in the race. Most of […]
If you weren’t expecting to see a T-Mobile jersey on this page (signifying the leader of the Tour de France), then you probably aren’t alone. With Jan Ullrich out of the race, it seemed to many commentators like T-Mobile was just along for the ride in this year’s Tour. Sergei Gonchar (UKR) and Michael Rogers […]
Robbie McEwen (AUS) did it again today, winning his third stage of the 2006 Tour de France, edging out Italy’s Danielle Bennati and yellow jersey wearer Tom Boonen (BEL) at the finish line of today’s 189 km stage from Lisieux to Vitre. A three-man break took of after about 74 km and they weren’t caught […]
