14:46 - McEwen: No Decision On His Future...
LeTour.fr’s interview with Robbie McEwen concluded with a question about his future plans... You’ve got an amazing Tour de France record but at the next three days the last of your participation in the race? “I don’t know,” said the 38-year-old. “If you asked me a week ago, I’d have said that I never want to come back. But I haven’t made any decision on my future. I’m not thinking any further than this afternoon – or the end of this race.”

The yellow jersey has recently stopped to change his bike. He had a Specialized frame with a funky paint job but now he’s back on the one he used yesterday.
Thor has groupies!
And I have to say that forest looks just like forests here... pine beetle infestation.
I like Richie Porte’s, Saxo rider and Giro white jersey winner, appraisal of Andy Schleck, “He’s skinny.” Probably good to not give him too much praise, we don’t want the white knight of the peloton getting the big head.
