Certainly, the argument will now be made again that they are only attacked because they have such a high market share. That's the typical excuse of Windows advocates. Too bad that Palm has the largest market share, and so far no viruses are raging on the Palm.

Sheriff Koch's and Deputy Bouffier's Posse

Great. Hesse now has official auxiliary police officers. I'm curious to see when Koch's close friend Steinbrück will want to introduce this great new idea in North Rhine-Westphalia as well. You can find the original article at das Netzbuch.

Voeckler and Voigt - two great fighters

Jens Voigt was simply superb in his breakaway action. It's a shame that things didn't quite work out at the end, but CSC can really be satisfied with such a rider. Just like with Basso, who showed an incredible performance today.

But the real top rider for me today was Thomas Voeckler, the way he defended his yellow jersey again. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he keeps it through the rest day - with a flat stage tomorrow that's quite likely. And maybe he'll manage it in the Alps again, even if that's already less likely.

And otherwise? Andreas Klöden showed great form again. The same with Georg Totschnig - although people had expected that more from him than from Klöden. Tyler Hamilton has dropped out - a shame, but understandable. Zubeldia also out - still in 5th place last year. Heras and Mayo have shown that they probably won't have anything to say in the overall standings this year. Ullrich either - but he looked better today than yesterday.
