The finale of the Tour de France saw an eighth year with an American in the maillot jaune. A new tradition has started with letting the winner address the crowd, and Floyd Landis gave his thanks to his team, his family, and the team owner. Robbie McEwan tried to make good on his promise to get on the podium twice as the stage winner, but Thor Hushovd had the better legs on the longer sprint. It also looked like kids' day on the Champs-Elysees, with McEwan's son Ewan in his own green jersey, but Michael Rassmussen's new baby was the cutest in polka dots from head to toe. Andreas Kloeden better get started on bringing his children to the tour too, since he looked out of place without some munchkin holding his hand.

For some mirth, and confirmation from the peloton, that Dave Zabriskie really is one strange, funny dude from Utah, check out his collection of podcasts from the tour. His funniest stuff is in his Tour de France Update - Stage 9. Good to know, do not room with DZ while on a Grand Tour, because his guts turn into a "furnace." Now we know why Carlos Sastre may have faded towards the end of the tour.
