Tour Tidbit du Jour July 19, 2006

The Big News today that Floyd Landis cracked and lost ten minutes to Pereiro and showed that his gamble lost.  Geez, giving 20 minutes, even 25 minutes, to a breakaway would have been fine, but 30 minutes was too much.  And looking at Landis on the final climb, it was clear that he bonked, and had no food with him.  His back pockets were empty.  Speaking of empty, that's exactly what anyone's predictions about who will win this tour is, with even just 4 stages to go.  Oscar Pereiro, the probable winner, if he doesn't crack tomorrow and lose 5 minutes in the time trial, had the best analysis of the Tour so far:

This Tour has been loco.
