say it isn't so, jour trois......

ok,so......the tour rode from pau today with no yellow jersey...seems that the abrupt dismissal of the fella wearing the yellow jersey means that next next guy in line must earn it, rather than get it handed down......so far this day...i knock on wood as i type this...listen closely for the reverb......there have been no failed tests, no firings, no nothing....only a discovery team person now in the yellow, and his teammate in 3rd place...this race is over sunday in paris.....so it looks really good for team discovery to have somebody on the podium.....but at such a price....seems team rabobank may lose its funding from....rabobank...just like phonak dropped its team funding after floyd landis tested positive.....again, these riders seem unable to grasp that scandal scares the money, and without money there is no sport.....you're just another crazy guy careening down a mountain road.....but with no hope of profiting by your foolishness......
