Tour de France- '09

[RICHARD]

I watch it every day, France is a neigbour of Belgium;
Several Belgian bikers attend, and one of them I know in person: Greg Van Avermaet. He is the future son-in-law of my friend who lives in same street as me. It's his first Tour though... . He is in the team of Silence-Lotto

Thanks,
I will be looking for him!

Another good race today.

For some reason, I feel this story fits in this topic. Lance bikes; she runs, and runs, and runs again. They both have been through life-altering medical events.

WOW, great finish to today's stage.

I think that unconciously I am waking up EARLY to watch.

When I get big I am going to one of those races!

Richard the US has 3 premier UCI events every year. 'Tour of Missouri', 'Tour of Georgia' and right in your back yard 'Tour of California'. Lance was even at the ToC this year. He has made the Tour of Georgia almost every year. When you get "big" you might try one of these before heading to France.

Yes!

We have a bunch of smaller races here in the valley, and a Velodrome. I like track racing the best.

I am practicing!

The Tour De France also drives through some neighbouring countries; A few years ago, it passed through MY town, and I was standing there watching when they passed!!! Wow, very impressing; but it is over before you can blink an eye...; those guys were in such a hurry !!!!!! LOL

It's like a parade for people with a short attention span?

When the Olympic torch came thru it was like that, hours of waiting and it's over in a flash!

Poor Tom Boonen. he wasn't having a good Tour.


Did anyone notice that Armstrong looked really beat up after today's stage?

So far this has been a good race!

Yes, that was our impression too! I think he is doing much more than he can, he doesn't want to give up!! What a racing driver!!
In my opinion Contador will win in Paris!
