I've been watching the tour religiously (Replay TV is my recording device of 
choice) and haven't noticed :-( Oh, what a newbie I am, still so much to 
learn and become attuned to. But I rest assured knowing that I will become 
more seasoned and one day, I too will be called a moron :0)
 What a great tour, only one boring stage from the start through Tuesday. I 
haven't watched since then and will probably delete this week's stages, 
start watching again tomorrow. I sure will miss Lance, but next year's tour 
will be very interested. I hope Tyler Hamilton will be back.
