This is the first year I've cared about watching the tour. It is very interesting, even though they are over doing the Lance thing! Being on the west coast, I can watch before work with my morning cup of coffee! I real enjoyed this AM watching that lone frenchmen at the lead. I was really pushing him on! I felt so bad for him when he slid into the barrier and then everyone else into him.

I have to add I am very impressed with the knowledge you gals on the site have about all the different riders, teams and strategies. To me, they are just guys on bikes. And I don't think I will ever figure out how the whole scoring thing works?! But it is fun and exciting to watch!

I was all pumped up for my AM commute after watching yesterday, only to get a huge nail in my tire a mile and a half from home. And no support team to jump out and throw on a new tire!
