Happy birthday to me...

What a nice birthday gift. Alberto Contador (in 'Best Young Rider' white), a 24-year-old rider for Discovery Channel, won today's stage of the Tour de France and moved into second place just behind Michael Rasmussen (in yellow). Woohoo! And the icing on the (birthday) cake was Levi Leipheimer's move up to fourth place. He's Contador's American teammate. If only they could've pulled George Hincapie, Discovery's faithful "old" New Yorker, along with them. I'd love for him to win something. He deserves it after serving Lance Armstrong for so many years. I guess he got a stage victory last year. That's going to have to do I guess. His hopes are fading this year. He's in 37th place, 40 minutes behind the man in yellow. (Follow the Tour!)
