At what point will it no longer be a spoiler to cheer for the winner of the TdM? Has everyone seen the results at this point? He's one of my favorite cyclists and it's so exciting to see him on the podium...
Sorry, I can't help it...

"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."

So none of the other DZ fans on the forum are following this thread...?

I was sorry I missed the podium, I read he planted one on Christian Vande Velde.

I didn't keep up much with the TOM since it wasn't on Versus (and we don't even *get* Versus on DirecTV at the moment...grrrrrr!), but I was happy that Dave Z. won it!

Haha, I wish I could've seen that, as well! Velonews neglected to mention that in their report

I really lucked out. I got there early and picked a spot where the cyclists walked by to sign in. So everyone was within 2-3 feet of me. Thor stood smack in front of me as he signed an autograph for a teacher that requested it for a special exchange student. Jens needed someone to hold his bike but I was too busy with the camera so he ended up leaning it against the rail. Originally Posted by Possegal
