this Tour tastes weird.
i like big TT's!
There's nothing like a day long TT fest to get your heart a pumpin'! Unless all your favorites ride like the USA World Cup team plays soccer. I'm sorry about B-Jul, but for crying out loud, scout the course beforehand! You shouldn't be crashing like that, that soon, and on dry pavement. But that's why they're called accidents.
I'm going to play the glass half-full and say that Johan told everyone to shut it down a bit and let some other teams/riders take over for the big GC pull. Mick Rogers and the Praying Landis were high on the list so if either of those guys get a good time they'll end up in the Mellow Johnny thereby taking over at the head of the race. We've all seen what that's done to Boonen. They'll blow themselves out trying to control the head of the race allowing the Disco boys to end up fresh for the mountains. Unfortunately, I think that the glass is half empty, and the Great 7X Motivator isn't at the reigns spurring the horses on. I think they all cracked. That being said it's pretty odd that ALL of them cracked pretty spectacularly, so we'll see when the race really starts.
break finally stuck.
nice to see the French are getting some wins and we don't have to hear all the whining about them sucking it up. Really cool that Sylvain Calzati took his first win ever at the Tour. I couldn't even imagine what that feels like. That's why I love this race.
Floyd still looking good.
you can keep saying it, but if you actually listen to yourself it simply sounds weird to say Floyd Landis has a real chance to win the Tour. It only seems like yesterday when we started to really hear about him through his riding w/ the Postal team, and that he's a Quaker or Amish or something... But listening to the Flying Mennonite talk to reporters on the VeloNews video player he seems completely unstressed and very strong. I'm very impressed in how he's conducting himself during this race.
