2010 Tour

Live coverage will begin this Thursday.

At the moment Tony Martin has the best time, but there are still 150 riders yet to go.  So far the rain isn’t as bad as expected.

According the Wall Street Journal, Floyd Landis has made additional allegations against Lance Armstrong. Three other former USPS teammates who which to remain anonymous, have corroborated that there was systematic doping.    Armstrong of course harpoons Landis’ credibility.  UCI President Pat Mc Quaid called it a personal vendetta on Landis’ part.

A number of top cyclists including Levi Leipheimer, Dave Zabriske, Christian Vandevelde, Tony Martin and Bradley Wiggins have opted to take an early prologue start tomorrow to avoid heavy rainstorms that are predicted.  Armstrong, Contador, Cancellara and Basso will take their scheduled times at the end.
