since last saturday, I’ve been glued to Versus watching the broadcast of this year’s tour de france. it’s the first year without any of the “usual” GC contenders dominating the race, and with a few personnel changes. a former armstrong teammate now leads Discovery, while another former D-teammate rides in support of a rival. new names, no predictable winner and a historic first start in London stack up to an exciting new tour.

so far, it has been a bumpy ride. while I miss the “blue train” of tours past, it’s great to see a new train behind this week’s yellow jersey. who knows what next week will bring.
