Admit it Bob, you made that name up.

> 1 Pierre Rolland (Fra) Team Europcar 3.13.25
> 2 Samuel Sanchez Gonzalez (Spa) Euskaltel-Euskadi 0.14
> 3 Alberto Contador Velasco (Spa) Saxo Bank Sungard 0.23
Got to feel a bit sorry for Cuntadore, he did really deserve the stage
win after his attacks.
> 4 Peter Velits (Svk) HTC-Highroad 0.57
And where would Velits be on GC if he didn't have to waste all his
energy riding leadout for Cavendish ?
> 5 Cadel Evans (Aus) BMC Racing Team
CFE had to earn his pay over the last two days.
> 6 Thomas De Gendt (Bel) Vacansoleil-DCM Pro Cycling Team
Van Impe must have opened a climbing school in Belgium, what with all
the Belgians who suddenly learned to climb.
> 7 Damiano Cunego (Ita) Lampre - ISD
Wins the Italian civil war
> 20 Thomas Voeckler
If he can hang onto 4th or 5th on GC I assume he must be the highest
placed Frenchman for quite a few years. Cunego's not the worlds greatest
TT, but Contador could easily catch him.
