Woohoo! WTG, Alberto!!!!
I haven’t heard any news recently, but I think Lance is still negotiating to buy the Tour from Amaury Sport Organisation (ASO).
Ping y’all

Next year should be even more interesting. Hope Versus made a nice profit (shhh, don’t let Obama hear that word) and continues to provide Tour coverage in the US.
Should be renamed the Tour de HGH. Athletes, professional or amateur, remain 2-3 steps ahead of the drug testers. They find new ways to dope up without being caught. Cyclists are among the worst.
To me, the hero of the Tour was Cavendish, with his six stage wins, including the last, which was awe inspiring ... TO ME ! How could he have failed to gain the Green Jersey? I heard something about a penalty, but I didn’t follow it. Thor, of course, won it, but Cavendish beat him head to head on several occasions, so what can it signify?
