Oh and Mexico loses to Panama. So Martinique and Panama are top of the group right now. Even with the Confederation Cup qualification change (winners of both Gold Cups before the next World Cup will face off to see who plays in the next Confed Cup), this is just a low value tournament.

Le Tour starts tomorrow. With no big Americans and Le Doping Hangover, it just is not going to be a big big deal. But they start without the normal prologue time trial. Stage 1 will be a spinters ride on Corsica (which has never hosted the Tour before).
