Three More Leopards: Wegmann, Gerdemann, Fuglsang to Luxembourg

Vuelta GC Power Poll: Can Vinny Close The Deal?
I don't know about you, but this GC fight is at as good as the Giro's and Tour's. And we've had a vintage year of Grand Tour GC battles.

Air Schleck
Frank goes airborne at the Tour de Suisse today. On the flip (so it doesn't keep playing every time you open the front page)... Just... ouch. Fortunately he's OK at the moment, according to the CSC website. Otherwise there's no way I'd be running this.
