the fact that there is no thread about the tour de france yet makes me sad, but probably reflects my own disappointment with the drug scandals that have marred the sport so terribly in recent years.
even this year you get excited/happy for ricco and then BOOM! he is escorted off by the police. three riders and a team already gone, its hard to get too excited about things...
really good sprint finishes this past week tho. as i have said all too often - i love an upset! so im always rooting for the breakaways to stay away and get a win, but there is something very exciting about the catch and then the sprint finish.
excellent strategy today putting cavendish into the red zone and taking him out of the picture. 4 different leaders in the last 200 meters!
and yes, of course im completely expecting cavendish to test positive before this thing is over...
bring on the olympics! so they can be ruined for me too...
