July 9th, 2007 Race Update: With two days of amazing weather in Good Old Britain, the Tour de France must be very pleased with their decision. So far the Tour de France has not delivered much in the way of doping scandals, but has delighted fans with good old racing. The Prologue was hotly contested and made for a exciting start to the Tour in 2007. Fabian Cancellara has had a strangle hold on the Yellow Jersey since the Prologue and he could be wearing it for a few more days to come. Tomorrow should be more of the same. Fast Sprint Finish.
