Fusée de Poche

Robbie "Pocket Rocket" McEwen won his second stage of the Tour today. McEwen is a tiny little bloke, but he is fast. I read that the speed at the finish was over 40 mph. The standings have not yet been updated at the fantasy league. I assume I will regain some of the ground that I lost yesterday when I got blanked. Robbie McEwen, by the way, named his son Ewan. Ewan McEwen.

Yesterday's Lanterne Rouge, Steve Zampieri of Switzerland, abandoned during today's stage. That means that Janek Tombak of Estonia reclaims last place. Tombak is trailing Armstrong by nearly 21 minutes.
