I love the three weeks of the TdF–it’s the height of summer to me and this first week certainly has been interesting and entertaining (which is, after all, the purpose of pro sport, isn’t it? Bread and games…). Time to put something on the roof–painted by Shannon: can you see the polka dots if the pics’ resolution is sufficiently high?
My personal interest is to see how long Jurgen VandenBroeck will remain in the race; and if so, how competitive he will be. Today’s stage to Gerardmer will give a first indication…
Which rider are you following (aside from the usual suspects)? Surely there will be more huge upsets; much better than a predictable outcome! Vive Le Velo!

Cool! I wonder how many bypassers would even notice… Very few look up/around I think
The Cahills of North kingstown are rooting for Van Gardenen..Also for the safety of the remaining riders AND a simple book to better undertsand what the heck is going on!!
Can you send me photo only to include in the 2015 calendar? DA
As you know, my pick WAS Contador. I am re-accessing now…
The Tour is full of surprises this year. I just hope that Nibali will stay up on his bike until Paris… Nibali sticks out and then there’s at least 10 guys. Ritchey seems his closest rival but anything can happen. (Flanders’ hope hasn’t found his legs back after 3 crashes in the early days; let’s hope he’ll come back after the rest day.)
