So, uh, what's been happening?
Got back from me hols in the early hours and can't really be bothered about reading two weeks worth of cyclingnews. I know about naughty ol' Tommeke, but that's about it. Anything else big?
Thanks to Rich for doing a stirling job with the Dauphiné and the TdS. I'll update the overall table once I wake up.

The biggest news has been that everyone's getting sponsors.
Slipstream signed with Garmin, starting immeadiately.
High Road signed with Columbia sportsware immeadiately.
CSC signed with Saxo Bank immeadiately.
So they'll all reveal for the TDF.
That's HUGE news since cycling had been hemoraging sponsors.
The coolest one is Slipstream because Garmin and Saris (powertap) are both providing online data, in realtime I believe, on the riders. You can already download the GPS route of their rides for the TDF and they're going to have tons of stuff online.
Here's a bunch of rides they've done that you can view on google earth or motionbased or download into your GPS (as .gpx, .gps, crs, hst):

Eh, so not much then. Schleck's hard as nails. Probably didn't even flinch.
Team Columbia sounds really sucky.0 -
They'd have no trouble getting Boonen to sign for them (assuming he wasn't fussing about spelling. (hmm this joke doesn't really work)0

OOOohhhh! The Garmin stuff has got me excited. Look forward to the Tour data. I'll have to save up for a Garmin doofer now. Just need a second income to pay for this cycling malarkey.0
