    23 David Millar (GBr) Saunier Duval

    Thanks to a last-moment catch by the sprinters, Matthias Kessler's late
    escape was absorbed by the bunch and he finished a clean 32nd, several
    places behind Millar.

    Notable non-sprinters above the line:

    8 Bernhard Eisel (Aut) Francaise Des Jeux*
    17 Andreas Klöden (Ger) T-Mobile
    20 Yaroslav Popovyvch (Ukr) Discovery Channel
    21 George Hincapie (USA) Discovery Channel**

    *NOT doped by Millar Line rules, as he finished above 9 Erik Zabel, thus
    qualifying as a sprinter. Sprinters are always clean.

    **George was given an exemption from the Millar Line yesterday for
    proving himself capable of sprinting during one of the intermediate hot
    spots. This latest non-sprinting result above the Millar Line means he
    has been placed on Triple Secret Probation until the next TT.

    Colophon:
    In association with Brian Lafferty, the Millar Line is defined by rider
    David Millar, who is known to be clean. Therefore, any rider who
    finishes ahead of Millar is doping. Sprinters are exempted, because they
    are always clean.

    The Millar Line powered by LIVEDRUNK: It's Millar's Time!

    What capablilty? Only 2 sprinted and George got second to someone with
    no sprinting reputation.

    No guarantees. I've been sick with a ridiculous cold-fever-hacking cough

    Hey, if we had a standard that tight, we'd have to call Zabel a doper.

    It's all that damn air conditioning.

    If you want to be a cyclist then:
    No A/C
    Drive with the car windows all the way up
    No fan, it will stir up germs

    I read that about the fan stirring up germs in a
    recent book on Lance, it is knowledge passed
    on from Viacheslav Ekimov, and makes sense.

    That Eki is a genius!

    Actually, as stupid as that all sounds, I have AC in my car, in my
    house, and at work. Maybe there's something to it.

    No, I don't really believe that.

    But the detail about the fan stirring up germs is great. I don't
    remember that passage, but was the book by any chance "Lance Armstrong's
    War"? That was the one by Danny Coyle.

    I'm going to pretend you didn't say such a hurtful thing....

    Between you and Eki, I think I prefer to follow the advice of my old
    friend and former pastor who felt that most minor stomach upsets were
    best cured with a small dose of alcohol.

    Either way, you felt better after,

    Come to think of it, Michael may have told me himself
    back in '04 at the Tour of Catalunya.

    Stick with that one. It's the best story of them all.

    There's a solution. Liberally spread Dave's Ultimate Insanity Sauce
    over your hands and face. In fact, it works particularly well when
    nature calls - you don't even have to wash your hands afterwards. I'm
    sure it kills germs and that should be good enough for rbr.

    When you LIVEDRUNK, anything but gin is small beer.

    Also, I'm pretty sure the good Monsignor has a better wine cellar than I
    do, though that's saying very, very little.
