either way you can't go wrong with that team 
Thor Hushovd wins the prologue
He beat Hincapie by 0.73 second!
Zabriskie finished 3rd
Landis would've been in the top 3 if he didn't start late
Go Norway!!!
Stage 1
Hincapie takes the malliot jaune!
Unfortunately, Hushovd got bloodied by something near the finish line while wearing the malliot jaune. Let's hope he can still continue.
Look at Hushovds right arm, guess the adrenaline was pumping quite a bit...

Stage 2
Hushovd seems to be ok, as he regained the yellow jersey
Interesting stage today: pure Ardennes.
Valverde crashed, and broke his collarbone
.
Robbie McEwen wins his 3rd stage of the Tour in Stage 6
Time trial coming up tomorrow, which should make a big change in the GC
Bad crash in the time trial for Bobby Julich 
Much like what happened to him in the 1999 TDF
so sad for bobby indeed ...i like this guy and i hoped this year he would have more opportunities
i hope his hand isn't broken
honchar owned everyone !he deserved because it's his field !
i mean GC
but robbie is still in green so

Quite a win by Honchar in the TT to give him the yellow jersey
Next closest is Landis, exactly 1 minute behind.
For the first time in a long time, Discovery is in a less than desirable position.

Landis will have hip replacement surgery after the Tour
Must be quite painful to do the race with such a condition
Power victory for Freire, 2nd for him this TdF, and only with 1 teammate helping again...
something for the French to be happy about - Cyril Dessel grabs the malliot jaune (and the polka dot climber's jersey) after the first mountain stage, with a 2:34 lead
It would be funny to see Mercado doing a Walkowiak.

Stage 11 - Landis in yellow!
Americans own the Tour De France. 
Very weird Tour so far, before today absolutely no one knew who was actually favorite to win the Tour let alone who was going to win it. Not even after today, dont think Landis will be able to keep his jersey all the way. It's still a long way, and he aint nothing like Lance.
This Tour certainly be the greatest of all time since like almost all of the favorites had to leave, but it certainly allready is the most exciting one of the past 7 years.
Looking forward for more cols 
I hope to see some serious attacks in les Alpes, not what we saw the last 2 days.
Popovych gets a win for Discovery in Stage 12
too bad Salvodelli has dropped out, as a result of being hit on the head by a spectator yesterday
Rabobank ordered Freire to let Popovych win, so Discovery will help Rabo team in les Alpes. Making friends in the peloton.
yes i expect some actions in les alpes !but btw it's shame this year the stars of the peloton are gone ....but well they were cheating !
