ok so this now post tour as i had all sorts of internet issues over the last week, but better late then never. bianchi is probably, overall, my favorite bike company (and so i’ll post 4 of ’em instead of 3). during the tour they sponsored the very ill-fated team barloworld, which only finished with four riders. but, they did have a couple of good performances from augustyn and froome. i guess the coolest thing about bianchi in general is their history, as they go all they way back to 1885! of course a little romance is lost because they are now owned by a huge swedish conglomerate.
in other news, riccardo ricco takes a shot at the tour’s testing saying he was able to beat the tests 10 times this tour before being busted. yeah that’s great for you, i hope you’re banned for life. and, in case you missed it carlos sastre won the tour and team csc-saxo bank dominated! and finally, here’s john-lee augustyn with the best crash of the tour:
