Paris-Nice Stage 3: Valverde Victorious; Chanbots Chuffed

He may be a bit of a cheat, but Alejandro Valverde is a classy bike rider. So we'll overlook those bags of blood in Dr. Fuentes' garage that matched his DNA. And then we'll have to overlook the fact that he still doesn't think he did anything wrong. So let's just sit back and admire the way he just beat Simon Gerrans on the uphill sprint today.

And Bradley Wiggins held onto the yellow jersey.

Today's antics were mostly good news for the Bile Beans. But first and second places, made it a very good day for the Chanbots.

Tomorrow looks like another lumpy one, we could see a few of today's top ten finishers in action again.
