* Ibin Mayo tested positive for EPO during the final rest day of the Tour. He has been suspended by Saunier Duval pending the results of his b-sample.

* Michael Rasmussen continues to plead his innocence, though he has yet to provide any evidence that he was actually in Mexico when he said he was.

* Dates and rosters for the post-Tour criteriums have been announced. These were very popular and well-attended in years past. It will be interesting to see if this year’s scandals have any effect on attendance.
