    Do you think the judges will cotton on? :wink:

    If its within the rules then fair play. However, there's been a raft of new anti-bribery legislation in the UK recently, I wonder whether Riis is skating on thin ice with this one? Presumably there is no direct connection between the Israeli judge and the Israeli school...

    I know the above is meant to be funny, but is does contain an obvious bias. I feel that a good case could be put for painting the Israeli authorities as being the real 'terrorists' in Palestine.

    Danish climber Chris Anker Sørensen crashed during the Criterium in Jerusalem & is now at the hospital. Might have broken his leg.

    After building this in order to segregate the Palestinians (largely on occupied territory and deemed to be illegal by the International Court of Justice) there is probably no money left to improve the roads...

    It really was a nice ride, it was brilliant to watch all the great riders. People in Israel have a great spirit biking is becoming very popular there in the past few years, but they could certainly learn a thing or two from the guest - riders of this event :)
