Toward the end of the second week, after Alberto Contador had pretty much sealed up his victory (even though he may not have even been in yellow at that time), I got bored posting daily updates. For that, I apologize. Without further ado, here’s what I missed: Alberto Contador won the Tour de France by over [...] Today was a very unusual stage. Not because of the stage profile, but because of the theatrics during and after the stage. What was not surprising is that Lance was involved. What was surprising was that George Hincapie was involved. Stage 11 was not unlike the previous flat stages. The only notable event was that Cavendish sprinted to victory in what was a considerably more impressive performance than his previous three stage wins. The big news today was that the Tour banned the use of race radios on today’s flat stage. Of course, the riders rebelled, claiming that they needed their team car to tell them where the potholes are, and so evidently no real racing happened today. Stage 4 was the much-anticipated team time trial of 39 kilometers around the city of Montpelier. Realistically, only four teams (Garmin, Saxo Bank, Columbia, Astana) had a chance of winning the TTT, but super-realistically, only one team had a chance. I’ll give you one guess. Hint: it’s the only team with Lance [...] Evidently yesterday’s stage was called “Stage 1″ and not the “Prologue.” Oops. |
