Back to normal

It's all over and I can sleep again, but I am craving racing. When's the Vuelta?

This is an interesting quote: Lemond has certainly not hidden his feelings on Armstrong, and when asked who would win today between Landis, him and Armstrong, Lemond at first chuckled, "I am biased! I can't answer that, [laughs.]" But then Lemond got a little more serious. "Every race is different. The race changed dramatically this year. For me I am a strong anti-doping advocate. I think we are seeing a true Tour de France winner, someone who might have otherwise been cheated out of a win." From ESPN reported via Cyclingnews.

I've collected a few other Cyclingnews race reports that may interest you:

• Health Net's Karl Menzies won the Tour De Toona's technical prologue four seconds ahead Navigator's Shawn Milne and his Health Net-Maxxis teammate Jeff Louder. (Greg Henderson 5th, Nathan O'Neill 9th)

• Clarke attacked just prior to the penultimate lap, opening up a gap that he was able to maintain to the finish line... Second place Fairall said, "I've had silver at the national championships before, but this is special, this is Gastown."
  

That gives you a bit of reading, eh?
