Dave Z's at home with a brand-new baby boy and a broken vertabrae. I haven't seen anything about how he's recuperating from the accident at the Giro. Hopefully he's doing well.Originally Posted by PinkBike
Even though I knew today was a rest day, I almost automatically brought up the live coverage when I got to work this morning. Amazing how quickly the Tour becomes a habit

Dave Z has been showing a bit more of ability to climb in recent years, like last year's Giro. Cancellara is a beast though, between him, Jens and Suart O'Grady they can just shred the field. I am ready for tomorrow and then Wednesday!! No sleep for a couple nights (we record the stages).

I didn't know today was a rest day and watched the last ten miles. Originally Posted by Kalidurga

Stage 16: I wasn't able to follow the live coverage due to some computer issues here at work, but I just checked the reports over at VeloNews...
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can't wait to get home tonight and watch the re-cap."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.

Just read this over at VeloNews (spoiler link, for those not checking today's results until later):
That's just so cuteThe Schleck brothers are extremely close... Frank replied, “Andy will win the Tour someday. He’s got the right head for it. He’s strong, but he lives like a puppy dog right now. He lives at home still and my mom babies him too much. Once he toughens up, he’ll win the Tour.”

I've been watching Andy Schlek.
I see potential there. Something in his face.
And he's pretty cute too but I think his brother hit it spot on.
I heard an NPR news reader talking about KAY-dul Evans
