Dramatic, exciting, close and maybe even a touch dangerous…. what more could you want? The Dauphine Libere pulled some surprises this year. Moreau on Ventoux. Haussler’s sprint. Astana’s broad strength. And not only did Moreau get the GC, we had a dramatic final stage where Leipheimer got away, only to crash, leaving Vino alone to win the stage. And overall it was Cadel Evans just 14 secs back from the winner.
Meanwhile in Switzerland Zabel is flying! Another stage win, with a Cat 3 col taking the sting out of McEwen’s legs. Bring on Le Tour!
And Ben Day won Beauce on GC in what was an impressive defensive action by the Navigators squad.

Aussie Ben Day has stamped his authority all over the TT in Canada’s Tour de Beauce, taking the lead on GC as well. That’s the good news. Meanwhile Italian star Ivan Basso has copped the maximum fine for his doping offence – the one he did but didn’t do, if you’ll recall. That’s probably also good news. And plenty of Aussies doing well in Spain’s Circuito Montanes. What can I say? It’s all good, surely?
And in other news there’s no word on Ullrich admitting anything. Just letting you know.
