    Yes i knew it was going on atm and no i don't watch it. I have better things to do than sitting and watching men in tight shorts cycle 200 kilometers a day lol
    The bikers is one thing - but I also watch it because of the beautiful landscapes that are being shown along the way. It is like going on a vacation.

    I thought it was the "Tour de Lance"...

    Argghhh...so today was disappointing at the tour. I'm really cheering for Schleck at this point and Contador is a tool for taking advantage of the situation the way that he did.

    Tough luck for Schleck. Loosing the chain in a critical moment is really not something anybody wants. Too bad the others were not so fair to wait for him. But they already waited in Spa. So I guess they figured that this time there is no justification for waiting.

    That's not the unwritten rule at the Tour though. When the Yellow jersey has to take a bio break or has a mechanical issue...the rest of the field slows and waits. In this case, Contador took advantage and established a lead during this time. I really think it stinks. Years ago when Lance won the race, he didn't do it through shady tactics and taking advantage of bad situations.

    I still think Schleck can take him...and I think this is just going to fuel Schleck in later stages.

    Yeah, maybe. But Contador is much better against the clock which I believe will happen on Sat. in Bordeaux.

    Agreed and that was why I was happy that Schleck had the 40 second lead. Oh well, there is still a lot of racing to go.

    I'm really enjoying the Tour as I do every year.
    Routing for Hushovd! He got the green jersey back!

    This tour is great in HD. I've been watching it everyday. Good racing for sure, too bad about all the crashes. The uphill finish on thursday should be good. I ride myself but I stick to my mountain bike.

    So, anybody here a cycling fan or paying attention to the race this year? It's been an interesting couple of stages thus far and the cobblestone racing was pretty wild...of course it did take a few big players out of the race which was a bummer.
    The race is ok, but the scenery...incredible. The country villas, castle like. The rolling countryside. It like a travelogue show, and oh yeah, those bicycles racing through. A Guy
