    ---------------------
    Italian sprint stallion Alessandro Petacchi will win the
    Tour de France's green jersey of best sprinter this
    year. Says who?

    Petacchi's cat.

    "When I was packing my bag for the Tour, my cat Trudi, who
    spends everyday playing with balls, tossed a green one in my
    bag just before I zipped it up," the 30-year-old Fassa
    Bortolo rider said in French sports daily L'Equipe.

    "My fiancé, Chiara, and I looked at each other, thinking
    that -- just maybe -- she did it on purpose. There were
    other balls. Red, yellow... But she chose the green one."

    "It was as if she wanted to send me a message."

    --------------------
    For the residents of Charleroi, Belgium the Tour de France
    on Sunday came too close for comfort to a national
    nightmare: The house of convicted paedophilic serial killer
    Marc Dutroux.

    Adding insult to injury, the bright red banner that
    signifies one kilometre remaining in the race was mounted
    right next to 128 route de Philippeville, Dutroux's home,
    which had been scheduled for demolition -- but wasn't --
    before the start of the Tour.

    You can say a lot about us Belgains, but we do manage to
    market our tourist attractions.

    McEwen is going to send you home early.

    Okay, but that is totally the wrong way to emulate the whole
    Anne Frank racket the Netherlands have going on.

    Saw Anne Frank's house on a bus tour, along with Rembrandt's
    windmill, the red-light district and a one-stop cheese farm
    and wooden shoe emporium,

    Argh. You mean the statue of him kneeling and drawing
    overlooking the Amstel (the river), conveniently just in
    front of a windmill..? Did you see me cycling past
    coaching some rowers?

    "Oy! You lousy lot, putcher back innit! My dog rows better'n
    you! Waddaya, a buncha tourists?!?"

    Was that you?

    I don't recall any statue. This was just a picturesque
    windmill surrounded by fields and canals. Very pretty, and
    apparently one he had painted. I won't lose too much sleep
    if "Rembrandt's windmill" turns out to be the Dutch
    equivalent of "George Washington slept here"

    And I think the bus tour company got a cut from the
    cheese/shoe shop, too,
