Dont do a single move for the yellow before the mountain stages! He'll get tired. Did Ciolek get hurt? Red cross I mean? |

I really like your presentation 
Bad luck with losing the jersey but it's still a great start.

And here are Haussler's stats
And I think that he will be very good for our train. Lets see what I can do in the transfers |

Go for buying Haussler. He will be a brillinat sprinter and a good cobbled helper. He can also hang onto the sprint in stages where Cavendish and Ciolek gets tired.

Le Tour de France Stage 4
Kloden is the first serious leader today
Contador is slower than him
Dekker is the best at the indermediate times
And he is the best at the finish too
Lovkvist is faster than Kloden but not faster than Dekker
A good result for Cadel, but not a fantastic one
Leipheimer looks good but he will not be the new leader
Menchov can't beat his team-mate
Finaly someone is faster than Dekker at the intermediate times. It's Fabian Cancellara
Rogers is second, behind Dekker
Can't say the same thing about Gerdemann...
It looks like Cancellara will win today and get the yellow jersey. He has the best time at the finish now.
Speaking about the yellow jersey. Eisel is starting the race
A good result by Hincapie too
Kirchen caught Ciolek even he started 2 minutes behind him
But still that didn't helped him very much. Almost 3 minutes slower than Cancellara at the finish
This was the only day in this year's Tour for Eisel
Stage
1. Fabian Cancellara Team CSC - Saxo Bank 36'37
2. Thomas Dekker Rabobank + 36
3. Michael Rogers Team Columbia + 1'01
4. Levi Leipheimer Astana Cycling Team + 1'05
5. George Hincapie Team Columbia + 1'10
6. Thomas Lövkvist Team Columbia + 1'11
7. Andreas Klöden Astana Cycling Team s.t.
8. Cadel Evans Silence - Lotto + 1'19
9. Denis Menchov Rabobank + 1'21
10. Leif Hoste Silence - Lotto + 1'22
Overall
1. Fabian Cancellara Team CSC - Saxo Bank 13h49'42
2. Michael Rogers Team Columbia + 1'01
3. Levi Leipheimer Astana Cycling Team + 1'05
4. George Hincapie Team Columbia + 1'10
5. Cadel Evans Silence - Lotto + 1'19
