I always hear about more and more people getting addicted to following the Tour de France….there is just something about it.

I didn’t know what the Red Lantern was for so looked it up. Actually, I really don’t know anything about bike racing so am learning a lot of stuff. It’s kind of fun to follow what’s going on.

It’s one of those things that will just suck you in if you spend a little time with it. Something about the TdF that keeps you coming back to watch more. I’m happy you’ve gotten into it and I totally agree with what you said about all the riders having an equal shot at it.
Let’s hope that a lot of yellow jersey shifting takes place over the next two weeks.

Rootin n’ Tootin for the UNDERDOGS

I’m so loving the bike that I’ve been keeping three eyes on the 2010 TdF and loving it. What speed! What stamina! What sportsmanship!

So it’s my first year following the TdF but what I have consistently noticed is that all the commentators, for some reason, expect to see the same set of riders at the top of the pack. I understand their reasoning etc etc etc… but I can’t deny that it bothers me. Come on, all these phenomenal cyclists train to win so how about some confidence people. I was more than happy to hear the shock and awe when Ryder Hesjedal made the top 5, I understand that this may be temporary, but for me it’s very INSPIRING!!

This tour has brought back to mind my old High School Motto “Labor Omnia Vincit – Hard Work Overcomes All Difficulties”
