Great sprint today!
Is it me, or are the sprint finishes more exciting than the mountain stages so far this year? Usually it's the other way around.
I'm rooting for Voekler to take it to Paris! The way Contador and the Schlecks were pussyfooting around on the last climb Saturday was very annoying. But Voekler just hung in there and kept climbing. He even went to the front a few times. Go Tommy!

I'd agree with the excitement of this year's sprints. Yesterday's stage was frustrating.

I just don't get too excited about the flat stages. Maybe once someone besides Cavendish starts winning the sprints, I'll get interested again. Poor Tyler Farrar looked like he was about to cry after the stage today--he just seemed so frustrated.
She's going the distance...

David Millar (@millarmind) tweeted the following [asterisks added], which cracked me up:
50k to go THOR: How you feel? ME: F****d. You? THOR: My eyes hurt from trying to keep them open. Maybe we'll feel ok when we see 25k to go?

Woke up this morning and the tv had died during the night!
The technician is coming tomorrow morning.
What synchronicity this happened on the Rest Day!

Say what, Buckwheat? You changed your shoes while riding? I'm proud that I can drink a couple of sips and return my bottle to its cage. You's a beast, Belgian dude. You's a beast.
