Lance finished well at the Suisse. I was also happy to see the Schlecks riding well. If Lance doesn't win, I hope it is either of them.

What is the plan for the tour this year on FR? Hopefully everyone is on the same page and it is drama free (only on FR of course, I'm hoping for lots of drama in FRA). I'm more than happy to help anyway I can, other than the 4th I imagine I will be near the computer the entire tour.

Thanks Mr. Blonde.

I've pulled all the stage graphics (course, profile, etc) off the official TdF site to use as the start of each stage.

Any problems with doing it like we did last year, one ongoing live thread? That did seem to work OK after we got things, errrr ...., uhhhhh ..., sorted out. Grumblebunny buttmuch is no longer with us, so I think we'll be safe.

Thanks Mr Blonde.

Mr Blonde graciously posted the announced Radio Shack team in post #158.

If there are no objections, I’ll be glad to start off each day with a post w/ the course, profile, and mountain graphics as in prior years.

The ongoing live thread last year worked better than I thought it would at first (after, the... ahem... detours, lol), so I would suggest one live thread rather than a new one each day.
