I wasn't near a computer or tv for most of today, so I caught up with Stage 4 news just now via Velonews.com. As with the last couple of days, I can't wait for Versus' enhanced coverage later this evening. Gotta see Thor SMASH!
Oh, and this shot from Velonews is priceless: Ever wonder...?

Heh, I thought the same thing. He needed this SMASH to make up for the lack of Toto this year

My husband asked me prior to the stage who would win. I said "THOR WILL SMASH!" I am never right, so I was mighty pleased to see him roll across the line.
Stage one I saw a spoiler.
Stage two I said it would be some random guy no one expects. I was kind of right since you would have expected Boonen.
Stage three I said who the heck knows!!Amanda
2011 Specialized Epic Comp 29er | Specialized Phenom | "Marie Laveau"
2007 Cannondale Synapse Carbon Road | Selle Italia Lady Gel Flow | "Miranda"

Knot, I've wondered that myself. It's been discussed a few times in Versus coverage. From what I've heard, the peloton apparently sits up a bit to "wait" when it's that big a group. I saw a mention in either Stage 3 or 4 coverage, too, that the commentators were surprised that the two riders in the breakaway had stopped for a "nature call", apparently that's an unusual thing.
There are just so many interesting aspects to watching the Tour, aren't there?
