On the Pauillac waterfront
It is nearly a month since the climactic time trial stage of 2010 Le Tour de France finished along the waterfront at Pauillac on Saturday 24th August. There still remain some vestiges of its passage in the town mainly in shop displays. On the waterfront there is a still a trailer with a rider taking a reviving swig of red along with a barrel, a lamb and a grape picker plus a château that has echoes of Pichon-Longueville. Perhaps if Andy Schleck had grabbed a bottle of red on his way into Pauillac that Saturday he would have found the strength to overtake Alberto Contador.
Red dope - the key to victory?
