* Frank Vandebroucke ( most promising young cyclist a few years ago ) is in hospital after a suicide attempt. Not sure he'll make it. He was rumoured to be in depression for years after the use of doping progressively push him to hard drugs.

* 10 cyclists/employees of Quickstep ( one of the 3 most important cycling team of the last 10 years ) have been searched by the police. Apparently forbidden products were found !

At this rate, a french will win the Tour de France this year ( but only because there won't be another nationality left... )
