Well, I’m almost recovered from 3 weeks of sleep deprivation after arising at 5-5:30 AM PDT daily to watch the TDF. What a contest: injuries, cobbles, French riders winning breakaways, and Andy Schleck almost matching Alberto Contador’s performance to the second. Gripping, I tell you. Absolutely gripping.

Speaking of gripping, I just entered Michelin’s contest for a free MTB, so send me my VISA cash card…

I am also a Jens fan! Didn’t have a clue who he was before a week ago. Love him now. What a positive force!

The bloke is a legend. What an attitude.

I thought the climb up the Tourmalet was one of the great Tour memories, Andy and the Spaniard going blow for blow, I also hoped Andy would drop the guy. I think the TT will do for him though unless a miracle happens. I’d love to see Andy in yellow riding through Paris.

Best tour in years.

The stat that did for me was the fact that they averaged on the 120 odd miles of the Tourmalet stage an astounding 19mph!

My best ever average over the 12 miles I do to work is 17mph! The fellers ain’t human!

I talked about my views of this year’s TdF on my blog today too. I’m a huge Jens fan. That guy gives it 100% all the time and doesn’t know how to quit. He’s got a great attitude to boot. I wish Schleck would win as well.
