Tour

It hurts to watch.. Especially in the Alps. Ugh!

I'm not that on top of cycling but the Tour is a great spectacle. The one day courses like Liege-Bastogne-Liege and Paris-Roubaix are cool too.

Mountain stages are the best. We've got another good one coming up today. Not a flat piece of road in it. I'm expecting something from Saxo Bank and the Schlecks.

 

[ArtsyGirl]

Yeah, can't stay up for it though, as nice as the scenery is it is 11.30 and I'm waking up at 6 oh wells..

That view of the hair-pin corners on that mountain was amazing..

 

[Duke]

Tuesday's stage was a great one. Schleck's going for it, Contador managing to hang on. Time trial today, Contador won it ahead of Cancellera, which was surprising. Schlecks didn't even give in that much.

Same thing Sastre did last year.

 

[Duke]

Rabo wins on Ventoux!

 

[Duke]

Well, that was the end of the tour. Cavendish wins on the Champs Elysees.

 

[Sebastian]

Boring!

 

[Duke]

^ You're just angry no Germans were in the picture.

But Haussler did well. Kloden did well. Voigt had a horror fall.

 

[Sebastian]

I hope Armstrong comes back next year and wins the Tour one more time.

 

[Duke]

He won't. He's starting his own team which he'll manage.

 

[Sebastian]

He will come baxck next year with his own team and win the Tour. Mark my words.

On a further note:

Michael Schumacher is back motherfuckaaaa!

 

[Duke]

Yeah, Schumi will fill in for Massa. I'm very curious to see if he's still got it!
