Lol. I have made a conscious effort not to drone on about the tour this year at work. One of my partners stopped by my office today and asked me why I had come in late and I told him it was the Alpe d'Huez stage and I watched at home. He cut me off and said, "Oh yes, the tour. I want to tahnk you for not talking about it so much this year. It has been nice."
Waters is right, IMO, Ullrich's disgrace has been a huge problem for them, along with Zabel's decline due to age, and Kloden's absence due to French stupidity. Maybe Kohl will stir things up if he continues.
Gerolsteiner is german, I think.
