Serious note - I am waiting for a few replies from a few bike shops, so there may be something, maybe not.
They said they'd look into supplying something - but couldn't promise anything.

If that doesn't materialise, then my SARS refund has grown even bigger than earlier mentioned in the competition.
I just need to provide them with my banking details, which have been suspended again according to their email.
But if I click on their link, they will unblock it for me.

And no special mention for the "lanterne rouge"... :(

Wikipedia Quote:

"In 1939 and 1948 the organisers sent home the last rider every day, to encourage more competitive racing."

Maybe I should have gone home earlier...

With LA, Frank Schleck and Robbie Hunter on my team, I could not expect a better result...

It takes special skill to win the "Lanterne Rouge".
The tactical prowess and foresight is often underestimated. :blink:

I did my best. Damnit! 'Stretched...' beat me to it.
Well, there's always next year... :P

Congrats, Rabubi and SilverShadow. Well done!

Now that Contador has been stripped of the title does that mean myself and Silvershadow will also be stripped of our title we share?

Luckily there was no prizes in 2010, else we would have to return it now...
