The last two days have been just riveting.
I am rooting for Andy, but you just gotta be impressed at how Voeckler has hung in there for so long- especially after seeing him at the finish yesterday.
Agree the TT will be a nail biter, and of course Evans and the Schlecks will be last.

I'm rooting for the Norwegians to win today (Boassen Hagen) and tomorrow (Hushovd)... Cadel for overall winner in the GC.

A great victory for him and for The Southern Hemisphere.
They were talking of declaring a Public Holiday in Oz if he won.
Oh...he is in tears on the podium in Yellow ...me too (even as a New Zealander)

Waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathildaaa!!!!! Evans finally takes Paris in yellow!
If it couldn't be Alberto, Cadel is the next best thing. He won but a single stage, yet he was consistent and insistent and dogged. That's why I love biking, perseverance is its own reward. Tomorrow, this one will be in the books. It was fun sharing the Tour with y'all.

When my children were small they use to go nuts at the Tours - especially when they knew that they were annual events. They didn't realise they were *each one of the three* annual events so they would say "What?! The Tour de France again?" Originally Posted by pll
