After 2 weeks, and the 1st doping withdrawal of the race, lets turn out thoughts to something happier:  the performance of Team Barloworld.

Here's a team that got a wild card entry to the Tour and has gone on to be the Cinderella story of the race so far.

2 stage wins and the Polka dot jersey.

They deserve a full round of applause for their first 2 weeks.

I would tend to agree. That Soler guy is a monster.

In a related matter, what is a wild-card entry?

There are a certain number of slots that go to the registered teams of the "Pro Tour" cycling series.  There are an additional 2-3 slots that are distributed by the organizers of the Tour to smaller teams that don't necessarily race in the Pro Tour.

I have to agree Barlo has really been a pleasant surprise... of course I'm a bit biased.
