    I was rooting for Jens too - who doesn't? - but loved the expression on Voeckler's face when he crossed the line.

    "I am not only a bike rider, I am also a husband and father with another baby on the way. It is my personal wish to be present when my wife Stefanie gives birth to our second child. That 'trophy' is more important than another Tour stage win or an Olympic medal. I already need to thank my wife for her patience with me during the last month in her pregnancy that has been difficult at times. The least I can do is to assist her in these difficult days," he said.

    Awwww.

    Very pleased with today's finish. The winner's twitter feed should be fun to watch.

    Here's a picture from stage 7 -- Sagan, the showman (he supposedly earned his "Terminator" nickname by destroying wheels and bikes...):

    WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?!!?!
    Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

    That was just unbelievable. Cadel is reported to have said that's why he avoids riding in Spain. Nuts!

    An article was posted on Velonews today which I think does a good job of explaining the broad-based appeal of "Little Tommy" and, of course, Jens.

    Analysis: Voigt and Voeckler lead the populist puncheurs
