Nice easy day today with a late start. I'm the only guest in the hotel this weekend which is quite alright with me and I get extra special treatment at breakfast
So it was an easy paced recovery ride this morning just turning my legs over, getting yesterday's race out of my leg's and setting up for my next race tomorrow, There's one thing I found out yesterday that I should mention. Earlier in the week I won a bunch sprint and had to shift a chap out of the way with a little head nudge. It turns out this chap was a certain Jan Ullrich's soigneur and was the guy that wrote the big expose book into JU's, Telecom's and Rudy Pevenage's 'practices', there was a court case about the book I recall. Well that was interesting enough but it also seems that this chap has just returned from a two year doping ban of his own! caught whilst racing with the Vet's, how sad is that? I must admit I've never seen a doping control here but they obviously turn up sometimes, probably on a tip off I suspect.
I'm racing near Brussels tomorrow, the race is around midday so I'm hopeful of getting back in time to watch at least the finale of the Ventoux stage. That Cavendish is something else isn't he? 5 stages and still the Paris stage to go, can he make it 6? Makes Hushovd's Green jersey look a little silly doesn't it.
