  1. He may have got a sneek peek at this study before the tour...

    BBC NEWS | Health | Beetroot juice 'boosts stamina'

    (yes I know you've already seen the story)

  2. So he was juiced.
    I knew that.

  3. Well I've ordered 30 bottles. I'll tell you how it goes.

  4. If we're going to be serious, the secret weapon was likely a cocktail of new blood-boosting agents and microtransfusions.

    But, why bother with reality when fantasy is so much more exciting?

  5. Dr. Ferrari.

    I knew that was your schtick all along... Head in the clouds 'n all that good stuff. 😉

  7. Is it really any surprise that the Tour was dominated by Bruyneel and Riis riders? A sweep of the podium, 5 of the top 6:

    1. Alberto Contador - Astana
    2. Andy Schleck - SaxoBank
    3. Lance Armstrong - Astana
    4. Bradley Wiggins - Garmin
    5. Frank Schleck - SaxoBank
    6. Andreas Kloden - Astana

    And gotta figure that Levi - ie another Astana/Bruyneel - would've been there or thereabouts as well.

    Bruyneel and Riis know what needs to be done and aren't shy about doing it, I'll give them that.

    Ironic, too, that both are "Damsgaard" teams. 🙄
