I can't believe I'm saying this but, "I miss Cav already!"

It was all Peter could do to stay on Kittel's wheel.

There was something truly awesome about the pictures from the first
two stages. The country side was so wonderfully green and the huge
crowds cheeering on the riders. Maybe its just the learning curve of the people in charge of the cameras. Just wow!

And yah the riders are looking tough as usual.

I have no problem admitting that I miss Cavindish. A huge blow to the race.

I don't miss or not miss Cav, but I am happy that Phil and Paul (who I otherwise like a lot) don't have to gush on about him every other minute.

I will say it again,Bicycle racing in Britian is cool.Great stage ,awesome cities and a good sprint .

Bob's your effin uncle.

You would have to do drugs to race like that.

Edit; And just for good measure ,How many folks here are doing drugs watching the riders doing drugs?......LOL

I wish I could do drugs.

They might calm me down a little while watching each stage!



....and yeah, great stuff again today, seeing Peter make his way back to the front at the end, and his great bike handling while on Kittel's wheel in the finale, RAD!

I hope Froome isn't banged up too much.

Epic certainly was't too strong to describe today. 98 miles in 3:18 in those conditions!
Are you kidding me? Hard men.

3:18 is two minutes off my last Rosarito-Ensenada time. I felt like I really hauled ass that day.

But R-to-E is only half the distance of today's stage.

These guys did twice my best ass-hauling speed, over twice the distance!

Sweet! Greipel (The Gorilla) gets one.

I am hoping other sprinters get their day as well. Kristoff, Sagan and Coquard all close, hopefully Renshaw or Van Poppel or others can get it right.


....and yesterday Nibali looked AWESOME on the cobbles!

They were moving. A bunch of people lost time 'cause they went OTB at the end.

Every day so far has seen a really good race.

The cobblestones stage could have been called "A Wednesday In Hell".
