The Tour de France is an event beyond the usual sports boundaries. It's an institution. Who better to voice an opinion on that subject than a sportswriter? We're very happy to announce American sportswriter Dave Shields will be blogging here at CyclingFever on his favorite subject.
The Tour de France again has a Spanish winner: Carlos Sastre. Considering the he rode he's earned too! The 'calculating riding' by Cadel Evans is punished by teamspirit of team CSC, who also emerge as winners in the team classification. The surprise of this Tour is, besides Sastre, Bernhard Kohl. A beautiful third place and the polka-dot jersey is probably much more than he bargained for up front...
Be prepared for the last of the three Grand Tours. While the ProTour Competition goes on as planned, we're awaiting the start of the Tour of Spain in August.
Of course you're most welcome to join us again and play the games. The race special has already been published. Good Luck!
