In Spain you can see the Tour in two TV stations, one is TVE1 (from the government) with Pedro Delgado as commentator, and the other is Eurosport (cable or satelitte) with Pello Ruiz Cabestany (former pro) and Antonio Alix (a very good cycling commentator). Since two or three years ago those two from Eurosport gave a new name for Lance's high pedalling cadence in the mountains: "el molinillo" (the best translation I can find is "coffee grinder" or maybe only "grinder"😉. The fact is that, yesterday when he was climbing Luz Ardiden to win his first stage this year, they said that "Armstrong ha puesto el molinillo por primera vez en este Tour", it means "Armstrong has turned on the grinder for the first time in this Tour".
Also they have criticized the Euskaltel riders' action at the end of the stage for taking the time bonus from Ullrich after staying on his wheel during the climb. Anyway, this is Euskaltel's best Tour so far, and today it was officially confirmed that Euskaltel will continue to sponsor the team until 2006.

On French TV they say the same thing, "il mouline". It comes from the same word as spanish- mill as in windmill.
