Isn't it fabulous that Thor Hushovd one into Paris?
To won the first and last stage... thats really special
And of course, my fave GEM (Goofy-Elf Man) with THE yellow jersey
What a ride this Tour was.
Did I say I was thrilled for Hushovd?

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".

plus the last stage is flat... so it would be difficult to maintain a breakaway.... the peleton would have you reeled back in quickly!
and yep.... lemond won with a time trial as the last stage! they joked that there hasn't been a time trial finish since cuz the french didn't want another incident of a frenchman laying on the ground crying in agony (i thought they were kidding until they showed the footage... and he WAS! i mean i'm sure they were kidding about that being the reason for not having a TT finish.... but they sure weren't kidding about him crying and writhing on the ground!)
