Tour de France- '09

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

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

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!

I didn't like the circles under his eyes. The were very obvious and looked nasty.

I guess Armstrong wasn't that tired today?

He looked better and his attack towards the end of the race had me yelling and cheering him on! It was rather early in the morning for me to do that, But that was a fantastic last charge up the mountain.


Poor Jens Voigt.

He was said to be doing well but his crash was really terrible to watch. I am glad the motorcycle rider behind him was able to keep from running him over!

Next year!

What a great three weeks.

LA didn't get a stage win or the tellow jersey, but I would love to see any pro athlete leave his 'job', then come back to place third?

Exactly, for me he did very well even if he didn't win. Third place, it's much better than many others did And next year, with a better team, who knows what he can do?
