How's the grieving process going? Coping okay? Did we have a bit of a sulk on Sunday? For a lot of yellow-braceleted faithful, that day marked the death of illusions and wishful thinking; the moment Alberto Contador ("Contador le Matador" as L'Equipe dubbed him) rode into yellow. And he did in a voracious, merciless, effortless style that: 1) evoked a young Lance Armstrong; and 2) suggested very strongly that he'll be sporting the maillot jaune all the way to Paris.Tue, 21 Jul 2009 22:33:00 EDThttp://edition.cnn.com/2009/SPORT/07/21/cycling.tour.france.contador.armstrong/index.html#cnnSTCTexthttp://edition.cnn.com/2009/SPORT/07/21/cycling.tour.france.contador.armstrong/index.html#cnnSTCTextAlberto Contador maintained his 97-second lead over Astana teammate Lance Armstrong in the Tour de France as Mikel Astarloza claimed his first stage victory on Tuesday.Tue, 21 Jul 2009 17:12:00 EDThttp://edition.cnn.com/2009/SPORT/07/17/tour.haussler.armstrong.leipheimer.hushovd/index.html#cnnSTCTexthttp://edition.cnn.com/2009/SPORT/07/17/tour.haussler.armstrong.leipheimer.hushovd/index.html#cnnSTCTextLance Armstrong lost key Astana teammate Levi Leipheimer but stayed in third place in the Tour de France as Heinrich Haussler of Germany won the 13th stage run off in appalling conditions on Friday.Fri, 17 Jul 2009 16:42:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/austin_murphy/07/13/tour.update/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/austin_murphy/07/13/tour.update/index.htmlWell, that was a trifle anticlimactic, no?Tue, 14 Jul 2009 16:18:00 EDThttp://edition.cnn.com/2009/SPORT/07/13/cycling.armstrong.contador.rivalry/index.html#cnnSTCTexthttp://edition.cnn.com/2009/SPORT/07/13/cycling.armstrong.contador.rivalry/index.html#cnnSTCTextSeven-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong has admitted that tension has increased between himself and Astana teammate Alberto Contador, as both riders battle for the yellow jersey in the 2009 Tour de France.Mon, 13 Jul 2009 11:57:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/austin_murphy/07/10/contador.armstrong/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/austin_murphy/07/10/contador.armstrong/index.htmlRecall, if you will, Bernard Hinault's terse message to Lance Armstrong five years ago, after the Texan drained much of the suspense from the 2004 Tour de France by winning his third straight alpine stage.

Two weeks before the start of the 2007 Tour de France, Random House will release From Lance To Landis, a follow-up of Walsh's 2004 book L.A. Confidentiel: Les Secrets de Lance Armstrong, which contained allegations that the seven-time Tour winner doped, but was never published in English.
