Jan's drinking problem
If ever there was a photo in search of a caption contest, this is it.
Caption suggestions in the comments, please.
My suggestion, "Unretiring?"

Hincapie at 1996 Olympics
In honor of his gigantic stage win today, I offer a candid snap of a much younger George Hincapie chatting up the crowd before the 1996 Olympic road race here in Atlanta.
I'm working on getting a full gallery of photos from that race up, but in the meantime, here's Hincapie, just after his first Tour de France with Motorola.
The 1996 Olympics were the first games where the road race and time trial were open to the professionals. Hincapie rode with Lance Armstrong, Frankie Andreu, Greg Randolph, and Steve Hegg (just 5 riders per country, right?).
As always, click through for a larger image, and to see some of my other cycling pictures, including shots from three stages of the 2005 Tour de Georgia, and a gallery of shots from the 1996 Olympic time trial.

Rotation Contraction Inspiration | photographien tino pohlmann
Velogal's link of the day is to a black and white collection of Tour photography by Tino Pohlmann. She bumped into Pohlmann earlier this week, and he set her up with a copy; it doesn't appear to be available in the US. Selected images are available in the gallery linked above.
There are landscapes, shots of fans, and a few pictures of racers. There are also desktop images available for download, at sizes up to 1600 x 1200.
(Seen at Velogal's Race Blog).

Add Watson to the list that says the Tour is over. With the abandon by Valverde, he says:
...we can only watch and see when Moreau drops off the pace and how soon Basso takes that 3rd-place for himself and perhaps attacks Rasmussen for his second place. It would have been a lot more exciting to have a Spaniard up there with these guys, for we are on the frontier with Spain and there will be hundreds of thousands of Spaniards waiting to cheer their men on.

Flickr-ing the Tour
So I had hoped this year to find dozens of people taking advantage of social photo services like Flickr to post their Tour photos.
Unlike most sports events played in controlled access stadiums, the Tour is run on public roads without admission, and the scale of the event, covering more than 100 miles most days makes it hard to be well positioned as a photographer.
Enter social networks: I can't be everywhere, but if 100 people lining the course cooperate, someone could photograph every single mile of most stages.
Unfortunately, through the early stages of the Tour, most of the photos tagged "tourdefrance" were pictures of people's TV sets.
I haven't seen much better at Buzznet, and Velogal seems to have SmugMug all to herself.
Am I missing some somewhere?
Fortunately, Oliver Regelmann has rectified that, going out to document the Tour's visit to Karlsruhe, and the opening miles of Stage 8.

Stage 5 wrapup
BBC SPORT | Other Sport... | Cycling | McEwen takes fifth stage sprint
McEwen dedicated his stage win to his Davitamon-Lotto team:
"My team's done a mountain of work - it's good to pay them back."
He still says he's out of the green jersey chase:
"I haven't changed my mind... I was 44 points down this morning, now I'm down to 45 because I didn't do the intermediate sprints," he said."It would be a miracle to make it back into contention or it would take Tom a lot of very bad luck which, of course, I don't wish on him. Now I'm here for stage wins."

cyclingnews.com | Robbie gets it right
Cyclingnews sources have confirmed that Armstrong had hoped to wear the maillot jaune from start to finish in his final Tour De France, but his plans were foiled by CSC's Zabriskie. Now some observers in the Tour De France press room are saying that the Tour De France is over and that Armstrong and his strongest ever supporting squad will just keep the maillot jaune until Paris. CSC's Bjarne Riis might disagree with that. Despite his teams loss in Stage 4's Team Time Trial, the phlegmatic Riis was as positive and upbeat as he usually gets when Cyclingnews spoke with him before Stage 5. "We (Team CSC) talked a lot about what happened yesterday and now we're feeling OK. Yes, it was disappointing but Ivan (Basso) is well placed."

AP photo wire available at ESPN
McEwen regulatin' posted at 11:48 am
One of the best perks of working for CNN.com was access to our AP Photo wire server. I think it was the last OS/2 box I ever touched, and even in 1999, it provided most of its photos at 6 megapixels plus. Some of my favorite desktop images to this day came off that box.
You can get a taste of that with the Cycling Photo Wire at ESPN.com. The images are auto-posted as they move on the wire, so the turnaround time is much faster than the photo galleries at other sites.
The shot above was taken during today's stage, and posted about 30 minutes after it was taken.

Graham Watson is the premier cycling photographer working today. He's writing a daily column at Chris Brewer's ThePaceline.com (free registration required), as well.
During the Giro, he was providing on-demand prints for sale, so that you could order up-to-poster sized prints of his shots the day they were taken. I'm hoping that will return for the Tour.
