Memo to Johan Bruyneel: If you say you are going to attack, have some riders that are capable of attacking. What a sorry team Discovery has proven to be. None of their men were big threats to win overall but they haven't even been competitive.

Today was a decisive day in the Tour as much destruction was wrought upon the peloton. I have yet to actually watch the stage but followed the updates at work. Today revealed 5, maybe 6 guys possibly capable of winning in Paris. Some are longer shots than others but you can rule out the other 160+ riders. Landis looks to be the odds on favorite. Menchov, Evans, Sastre, Kloden have some chance still. If Leipheimer truly did have diarrhea the night before he lost 5 minutes to Landis in the TT he must be very frustrated. Otherwise, he would likely be top 3 right now.

The French have had a nice showing so far and you can be sure they will be trying to get in every break on Bastille Day tomorrow.
