Edit
Sagan in yellow. Brain fart.

My husband will be glued to the TV for the next two weeks.
There's already been the Vuelta, the Giro, etc etc.
Thank God for DVRs so I don't have to live thru it all in real time.
Half the time he's out biking, the other half he's watching it.
Thank God for climbing. I just had 3 days in the mountains doing my thing while he did his thing.
We make appointments for together time!

This is the first Tour that has engaged me in some time. Sorry to see Contador suffering.
I've always respected the way he rode.

Rob, I meant to do it last night and before!!!
What a great start to a Tour de France!
The washed out Cavendish blows everybody away by winning the first stage, **SURPRISE!!!!!
**
Then....
the
World Champ wins the second stage in textbook fashion, perfectly executed....on a slightly uphill finish...beating Alaphillipe and Van Avermat. YEP. Did you see how he forced Alaphilipe to lead him out, brilliant?
And then in only the 3rd stage the EFFING Manx Missile beats The Gorilla and Kittel and the world champ again. None of the commentators were even talking about Cav. Not to mention that The World Champ was right there...narrowly getting beat by the fastest men in the peloton.
Damn, I can't wait to see what happens tomorrow!

He's going to skip the last week of the Tour?
You can see I don't pay too much attention to it, Ricky!

Thinking the Manx Missile has picked up some serious power and speed from all that track work.

All those miles and half a tire at the end. That last throw probably made the difference.
Did not think Cav could come around Kittel. The track time definitely paid off.

I thought Coquard had it but......if only his arms were just a little bit longer....
Kudos to Kittel! He needed a win.

Hey Jody, STFU.
Try some other thread where you don't stand out as an idiot.
