    During June we were in Colorado and drove over some sections of the race route. Independence Pass is narrow and has no barriers... scary! It should be very exciting though.

    Frandy will be there. They're trying to get Cadel to commit, too.

    DZ and Chris Horner will be there.

    Vuelta (a empezar)

    @pll. The Vuelta will be in my backyard on Aug 23rd, going over Blancares Pass, where I often train, on the way to a finish in Sierra Nevada. If you start the Vuelta thread, I promise pix of that day!!

    AC showed incredible heart and soul trying to come back from all the time deficit he faced, crashes, etc.
    I would have loved if it were Cadel, TV and AC on the podium...Shlecks show little class and humility...not to mention horrible descending and TT skills.

    Cadel was the best, hands down, what a great champion!

    PS -- I hope George breaks the record next year!

    Marianne Vos (@marianne_vos) tweeted a nice quote today:

    Thinking back on #TdF this quote of Churchill comes up: 'Success is not final, failure not fatal; it's the courage to continue that counts'.
