Gotta love the DVR. I wonder if that'll be covered with a fuzzy circle at primetime?

I'm surprised there aren't more shots like that. Will Frischkorn's VeloNews Rider's Diary described a few real doozy idiots along today's course.
Does anyone else yell at the tv for the stupid fans to get out of the way, or am I the only one?"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."
David Desautels, in a letter to velonews.com

That's funny! I can't wait to watch the DVR today and look for it.

Especially the mountain stages, I'm yelling at the TV... those crazy Basques.
