Tour de France could have great time trial finish:

Andy Schleck took over the race lead on the Alpe d'Huez switchback climb, but Cadel Evans of Australia is only 57 seconds back. That is CLOSE. (I like competitive cycling, in my pursuit of alternate sports. Hopefully the increased testing will take drugs out of the competition.) Any falls or problems for Schleck or Evans could decide the winner. Andy's brother Frank is only 53 seconds back, so the time trial will be for podium positions, which isn't always the case. Evans is supposedly the better time-trialist. Contador made a play, but couldn't break away far enough.

Pool events in the World Swimming Championships start Sunday. July sure is great for sports, isn't it?
