Tour de France 2010.

[RICHARD]

Time to put on the tight shorts, helmet and shoes that make you walk funny.


I wonder of the Netherlands is still partrying this morning?:D

[Sonia59]

Football + tour de France, Dutch probably can't behave anymore, they must be so happy and proud ;):D

[RICHARD]

WOW what an end to today's stage.:eek:

[RICHARD]

Invest in medical supplies.

[Sonia59]

I did not follow, just saw the results on the news, but yes, it's a terrible beginning.

[RICHARD]

People were falling down all over the place.

Better news about that on today's stage!:eek::)

[RICHARD]

There's no headbutting in cycling?:confused:

-----------

Go to a Velodrome!:)

[RICHARD]

One day I am going to France just to see all those effing sunflowers.

OMG,

That's the best.....

I also am loving the 'castle tours' on this year's coverage.:D

What on earth was that about??? And how do you nut someone from a bike anyway???

The was pretty crazy and I could not believe the extent of the headbutts.

Velodrome racing does have plenty of contact, but nothing like THAT.

The disqualification was deserved-no matter what anyone says- when he cut of Farrar, Farrar took his hand off of the handlebars to push Renshaw out of his way.

And that was the day I didn't watch the end of the race.:o

I had missed the fans along the race routes and was pleased to see people dressing up.

Today? About 21 miles from the end of the stage I saw a guy with a giant pink plastic phallus sitting on his shoulders.

It was the funniest thing I have seen so far.....His standing to the left of the screen.....

Have fun!

I do not follow much this year and TV is hardly on these last days. Wow, this "headbutting" is incredible!:eek: I did not know something like that could happen!

They commentators said that the head butting alone would have kept him in the race.

It was what he did AFTER that got him tossed out.:eek:

[RICHARD]

Love those polka dot dresses.....

Contador is a punk. Congrats.

Loved the "28" jerseys, I think they were more effective when the race judges got to them.;)

Now I go back to my pedestrian life.

Good race and watch for the Shlecks next year.

Kthnxbai!

See ya in 2011!!!
