Versus is showing Stage 16 as if they didn't know
Rasmussen was out of the tour. I guess they figure
there's no show otherwise.

Well he is still the winner of stage 16 and will proberbly countinue
beeing the winner because there is no doping suspicion, case or
conviction against him.

He has been suspended by his emplyer and wil probebly get fired as
well for misguide his emplyer in a way that compromises the
employers public reputation.

They did the same yesterday even after Vino and Astana got the boot.

Good interview with Biver, http://www.worldcycling.tv/2007-tour-de-france-marc-biver-interview-stage-16-july-25

IMHO Versus should have an updated coverage for breaking news after
the crew in France wraps. A crawl at the bottom of the scene is a bit
lame. They are not ESPN but at least we now get a live feed in the
morning.

TTFN,

Rasmussen had a good ride today, Discovery's tactics were obvious, and
as well executed as could be expected, Soler is a hoot to watch ride,
and I _really_ loved watching the motorcycle dude shove that idiot out
of the road and into a van at 4.2 miles to go. His head bounced off
the side of the van. That made my day. :)
