Dauphine Libéré,Doping and Tour de Suisse (plus video with F.Schleck):

So,here are some news about what has happened in cycling world during the last few days.

Dauphine Libéré: The first stage (a TT) of Dauphine Libéré was won by the man with the scaring eyebrows,aka Cadel Evans.Second was Contadorus Rex,while Alejandro Valverde came in 3rd.

The second stage of the race saw an attack of David Millar.The Garmin rider attacked with about 5 kms to go but,unfortunately for him,he was caught by the rest of the peloton few meters before of the finish-line.The favourite of the stage was Boonen,but the Belgian eventually came in 3rd,behind the winner Angelo Furlan and Markus Zberg.
During the 3rd stage Pauriol ,Turpin,Landaluze,Trofimov and Terpstra formed a breakaway that the peloton eventually couldn't catch.The stage was won by Nicki Terpstra who also managed to get the leader's jersey.
"I've tried to win a race by breaking away so many times, it's a relief to finally make it," said the 25-year-old Terpstra."I can't say it's a dream come true but for sure this is the best win of my career so far. It's also my first win for Team Milram. I've worked really hard for this. I'd prefer to win a big classic but this is really big for me.I wasn't thinking of the victory, I was riding at the front of the group for the last five kilometres because I wanted the yellow jersey. I didn't evaluate the strength of my adversaries for the sprint. I saw the AG2r rider [Ludovic Turpin] was a good climber and the Euskaltel [Iñigo Landaluze] was strong but only with 300 metres to go did I realize there was a possibility to win the stage as well." Second came Turpin,while third was Trofimov.If somebody's interested,on these links (http://www.ouest-france.fr/sport/cyclisme-Det_-Dauphine.-Niki-Terpstra-Une-grande-joie-_39637-964387_actu.Htm and http://criterium.ledauphine.com/criterium09/new,linterview-du-vainqueur-niki-terpstra-ma-plus-grande-victoire,284,0.html) you can find 2 interviews with Terpstra.

Today's stage was a TT of 42.4 km.The stage's winner was Bert Grabsch,while "he of the scaring eyebrows" came in 2nd.Contador came in 5th,Valverde in 10th.Sexy Banker Jakob Fuglsang came in 17th.Nicki Terpstra was very unlucky,since he fell during the TT and had to continue the stage with a road bike.He eventually lost 5 minutes from Evans,who took the leader jersey from him.

Doping: Katusha's rider Colom has been tested positive to Epo.I used to like Colom,last year he did a very good job for Contador at the Giro.I also saw him "live" during one stage and I was really impressed by the fact that he was really struggling to arrive at the end of the race.Finding out that he's a doper was a bad blow for me.

Tour of Suisse:: Saxo Bank's team for Tour de Suisse will be formed by Arvesen,Breschel, Larsson,Cancellara,O'Grady,Chris-Anker Sorensen and los Schlecks.

Talking about the Schlecks and the Tour of Suisse: you'll probably remember Frank's horrible fall in last year edition of the race.Well,on this link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufR7lYiJG1I) there's an interview "auf Deutsch" with him.The part with Frank begins after 1 minute and 50 seconds.
