There were some rumors at this time that Pereiro would be DQ’d as well (I don’t remember what for), so we pictured the Tour GC falling like dominos.

Kloden wanted a Tour team that focused completely on the GC, which led to sprinter Zabel getting booted off T-Mobile. We had Zabel plotting his revenge in frame 3.

Cadel Evans looks like an elf. Another bad color drawing.

Putin was also too pasty to render in just black and white.

The polonium assassination happened around this time. There were also pictures of Condoleeza Rice and Putin looking a little too chummy, hence the Mr. Rice code name.

That’s Dessel and Moreau in the last frame. Dessel had placed ahead of Moreau as top Frenchman.
