The Tour So Far...

I have been watching the Tour here and there... I think Piojo was right that it's hard to consider watching when the podium winners last year are ALL not racing. I have to admit that it is starting to become better... Did anyone see that crash from yesterday??? I like to watch the crashes, but I HATE to be in them! Did I miss a TTT somewhere?

I'm pretty sure there are no team time trials this year. I don't know the reason, but I recall reading someone's observation that the French wanted to make good and sure that Discovery weren't in a position to dominate.

While I do find it just a bit disorienting (and disappointing) not having Ullrich and Basso around, I'm actually finding this year's Tour more interesting just because I can't predict what the heck's going to happen next.

And the only thing more amazing to me than Kessler's kartoon krash endo is the way he proceeded to hop on a bike and go on riding.

yeah, i don't like to watch crashes either... probably for the same reason that i don't watch horror movies, ever actually punch people in my dreams or have the most intimate of intimate moments in my dreams... hmmm, maybe i'm just weird...
