    Contador is with Saxo Bank. The sport loves him as do the sponsors as do the fans as do the race organisers as do those involved closely with the sport. Saxo are fine. They also may be announcing a co-sponsor on Monday.

    Well, last TDF when the teams presented themselves there was massive booing from a lot of the audience, which were we'll assume 'cycling fans', so not everybody loves him. Sponsors have supported him though.

    Yeh! Kenny's back. The one and only, the finest rider never to have won the Lanterne.

    Golly gosh, is it that time already? Suppose I'd better start The Lanterne Thread.

    Hmm, I didn't watch much between about 2000 and 2009. Having just looked at the final standings for 08 I can see what you mean! That said the 2007 field wasn't much better from the look of it. Where was Bertie in 08?

    Will they change it now that Nacer Bouhanni is French national champion? It would be seem a bit weird not to have the french champ at the french race. I dont know what type of rider he is though...

    Pinot is youngest rider at 22. Watch out for him as he is motivated and going in to make an impact and has a talent to match. Was top 10 in TdS but had to pull out on final due due to sunstroke.
