worth the ticket!
Some hot Swiss action in the morning!
Stage 3 of the Tour de Suisse on Cycling.TV went from standard issue to absolutely storming! Lone breakaway caught w/ around 20-30k to go sparked the action that set the stage for the end of the stage. The "Cricket" Paulo Bettini started the fun w/ a storming attack that quickly was countered by none other than Der Kaiser himself, Jan Ullrich! The big guy was just testing out his Tour legs a little, but it still was a lot of fun. 4 guys ended up getting formed together to finish out the stage w/ Nick Nuyens from Quick-Step getting the best of the bunch.
It's stage action like that, that helps you remember why you love this sport. Regardless of your country or team affiliation good bike racing is just that! Lance and the boys started to change how the Tour is ridden when you have a super team, but to be honest that shit is boring! It's nice to have him win, but looking back on the rest of the 90's (I dont' have any tapes from before Indurain) and at least the first 2 years of Armstrong, there was always some dynamic action where it seemed anything could happen.
