Horses for Courses: Drugs, Bombs, Blood all great news for Cadel Evans

Le Tour is never boring.

What with ETA blasting away by the side of the road, Vinos elbow bandages hiding the track marks in his arms, Rasmussen doing a Tony Mokbel Contiki tour and failing to keep a diary and Moreni with more testosterone in his system than a Bulgarian Weightlifter, the fans of Cycling have never had their faith tested more than this 2007 tour.

All the cards are falling into the hands of Cadel Evans who is doing a Steven Bradbury and surely just needs Leipheimer to use one of Armstrongs old pair of Knicks for a fairy tale to come true!

The days of Cocaine and Methamphetamine are long gone and science is catching up with modern day cheats. It makes me wonder if we might be better off with Bidons full of Vin Rouge like the good old days.

Bring back the fixed wheel and lets turn the tour back into a gruelling slog when Opperman and Co. ruled the roads.

The need for speed has reached ridiculous proportions. Fuelled by the marketng dollar and the need for corporate profits.

There will be no drug testing on the Great Victorian Bicentennial Bike Ride Reinactment, well not by the organisers. What the Coppers do is out of our control. Besides I am sure most of you prefer your drugs in liquid form.

4 stages to go and then we will get down to some serious route discussion and of course trainig tips from our training master the Temora Tornado, whose prowess has never been disputed nor has he ever been swabbed by the stewards who would have found nothing anyway.

Three is still a chance that the winner of the Tour de France and the winner of the Melbourne Cup could come from the same stable! My spies inside the ICU say there are more riders under investigation!
