...and a few pics of Andy (without copyrights)



The second part is here.

And a few pics of Andy in the new jersey (by TDW):

Official site now works.

- Portraits of all riders

- Videos of the riders

Love them or hate them?..

As far as I understand Andy was on the RTL-radio(?) today. Unfortunately, it's all I know:) Google translator doesn't want to work with Luxembourgish language:)
Anyway, pics are here: http://sport.rtl.lu/news/fotoen/3191/overview/?back=/radio/sportclub/52477.html

Andy finishing


After the race our guys decided to take a quick shower:))


And looks like Andy ignored shirts. But we don't blame his for that:)

Collage made by Paul Raats. As I expected, yellow suits him! Hope to see this picture on TDF podium next year:)
And here is a very nice pic of Big Brother (also (c) Paul Raats)

Poor riders, they have no rest even after such a big races as Tour. Lots of small criteriums, where people want to see their favourite riders. Cavendish, Andy, Contador, Fabian - they all won some races. I thought riders are very tired after Tour and the only thing they want is sleeping (eating, spending time with family).
Lots of photos from Gala tour de France, where Frank won:

So, what do you think about today's stage? The team had a good plan. Hope they have a good plan on tomorrow too. Well, I don't know, how we will be without Jens:( But, maybe, our guys will ride even better to cheer him up? You know, "we miss you, Jens, and we try to win this Tour for you too" ? Andy said, that stage 17 was a key stage. I saw the profile of it and I think he can be right. Up and down, up and down all the time. Let's see how Wiggins, our new monster climber, will ride this stage.
Hope Andy and Frank will attack and make bigger time gaps before TT.

Look what I found on Flickr:

It's a picture from European election (do you remember the video?) Here is a link, you can find one more photo in the album.

I love Andy's basket:) Maybe it's his bike for shopping:)?

I actually don't know what I'll write here:) I'm not so good in English and not a profi in cycling. But I'll try.
As I know, it's better to begin something new with something good, pleasent and nice. So let Fabian Cancellara be in my first post:)) Great photos with him you can find on Tim De Waele's site (see July-Features: Fabian Cancellara).
