Apologies about yesterday. The Millar Line experienced un jour sans.
Stage 6:
39 David Millar (GBr) Saunier Duval
Maginot Line:
12 Jimmy Casper (Fra) Cofidis
Gert Steegmans, McEwen's leadout man, once again proves himself guilty even
by the lenient French standard with a 9th-place finish. As Vayer would say,
"pas naturellement" to have that much juice left after pulling Robbie to
the line.
Also, is Inaki Isasi a sprinter? I think not.
If we dispense with the ridiculous Maginot line (as is traditional, we do
so by taking a shortcut through the Low Countries), we can convict Steven
De Jongh, along with a bunch of guys who might be clean, since they are
neither Dutch nor Spanish (Matej Mugerli of Slovakia, Peter Wrolich of
Austria, and my favourite, the wonderfully named Marco Velo).
Oh, and BTW, George Hincapie finished 33rd. He's now on quadruple secret
probation until the TT.
