    Oops! I went back and edited the post to specify that the link could lead to a spoiler. Sorry I forgot to do that originally, I do try to be considerate of folks who watch the coverage later in the day
    "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."

    pretty cool of the Lampre boys to ride all together to the finished line with their injured team-member...

    I kind of like Sastre. He has a custom saddle that says "Papa Mejor". I just think that is so sweet, lots of men have kiddos but he is REALLY proud to be a daddy. The Schleck boys will probably both win the tour at some point, they are so young and so good. I believe Sastre hasn't done anything the whole tour because that was CSC's plan, he trained all year for the tour and then reserved every ounce of energy for Alpe D'Huez. Not as fun as fireworks but smart. Poor Cadel and VandeVelde didn't have anyone in the mountains. I think Christian could be in yellow is Garmin was just stronger, I still hope he could pull off a miracle and knock Kohl off the podium.

    Another thing- could Kohl look anymore ridiculous climbing? The alien glasses and bobble head swinging freak me out. Even Paul commented on his riding style. Not nearly as funny as last year with Soler "That man cannot make riding a bike look good." or something like that.

    Yeah, I was thinking the same thing... Also, (and believe me that I know this is mean and superficial) but he's just not an attractive guy. I wish he'd just get his teeth fixed! That's 90% of his look problem right there. I guess I'm just spoiled cause it seems like all these bike racers are so damn cute... But, really, his team seems to be okay in the funds department. They should get him a good dentist with part of the proceeds of the KoM prize.

    My husband keeps ranting about his teeth. It is mean but funny. He gets up and my husband shouts "Oh god the teeth again, what the heck is with those- ahhhhhhH!". I like how they say he is a chimney sweep in his off season. Does he really get paid so little or is he just bored?
