Paris-Nice

David Millar comes back in his second year after his suspension and wins the prologue time trial by 1 second. Phil Ligget is ecstatic. Levi is in 6th.

Re: Paris-Nice

After one of the most exciting days of racing I have seen for awhile, Alberto Contador (of Discovery Channel Team) wins Paris-Nice. He was 6 seconds behind Davide Rebellin going into the last stage yesterday which featured several climbs. The Discovery Team (Levi, Yaroslov Popovych, Tom Danielson, and others) worked their butts off to break everyone they could. They couldn't shake Rebellin though. On the final climb Alberto took off ala Lance and beat everyone to the top but there remained 16 kilometers of downhill to the finish in Nice. He kept his lead after a Herculean effort and ended up about 22 seconds ahead.
The final stage will be on Versus TV later this week also, if you are interested. If for nothing else, the scenery is fantastic!
