I can't favour Jens over David or vice versa I'ma fraid *g* They're both brilliant. I've always like Jens but I remember being blown away by him last year when he was the ultimate in super domestiques (towed one team-mate up the mountain and then when he dropped back ended up shepparding another team-mate across the line and smiling as he did it.

Plus he's a breakaway guy and I love them.

Did you know Saunier Duval's trees for Mali included a tree for every km one of their riders stayed in a breakaway? Rather a lot of trees just from David Millar over the alst couplke of weeks!

Now if they can just drop Bennati and his team-mate pelase *crosses fingers*

:-( But Jens just had a flat. Crap - stupidest timing possible.

Worst luck in the world!

Maybe the adrenalin from catching up will help him go straight past? :-S

There are 141 riders left out of the original 189 so we've lost about 25%

Though several of those were crashes or outside the time limits during the mountains (and before).

To doping we've lost 4 inidividuals and then 2 teams (though I don't think either team was complete so maybe 14 or 15 theoretically innocent riders).

How many of which group? (sorry to be dense)

Of the dopers Rasmussen and Vinokourov were high up (well technically Vino wasn't by the time he went out but he was a pre-race favourite) and the other two were lowly team riders.
