Saturday 28th of July, the day the Tour de France will be decided.
On the program, an individual Time trial of 55,5km from Cognac to Angoulême
Alberto Contador from Discovery still has 110 seconds advantage on Cadel Evans of Predictor-Lotto after losing 3 seconds today.
Normally Cadel Evans is the better time trial rider, but the Yellow jersey will boost Contador’s capability’s in this particular discipline
of cycling.

I hope it will be an combat as close as Laurent fignon and greg LeMond back in 1989 when LeMond has beaten Fignon with only 9 seconds.
It sure will give a positive note to the Tour de france of this year.
I still remember this fight as it was yesterday, only being 13 years old back then, but allready a true cycling fan.
Greg Lemond started with the famous triathlon steer and a wind helmet that looked very funny. 
If Fignon also paid a little more attention to these little details, what if then? We’ll never know now.

But being from Belgium myself, deep inside I hope Cadel Evans will win because he rides in a Belgian Team, Predictor-Lotto.
But it will be very hard to close the gap of 110 seconds, but who knows?
110 Seconds, that’s about 2 seconds Cadel Evans has to ride faster for each kilometer.

If Cadel won’t win, then maybe Tom Boonen will take the green Jersey back to Belgium for the first time in his carreer.
He has some points advantage on Hunter and Zabel and normally if he finishes into the points at the Champs-Elysées on sunday
he is the proud owner of the green jersey. And so I have something else to celebrate.

So are there any cycling fans here reading this an willing to share their thoughts?
