Tour de France

“Get a Froome dog,” she said. “Kiss my British white ass,” the other said.

Sky have WAG (wife and girlfriend) WAR on Twitter. Click the link – read the story – it’s better than a doping scandal.

The war of words. Now on Twitter. Another social pothole in the information superhighway.

 

 

 


Froome smelled yellow and Wiggo wins. What’s up with that?


Tour de France – the backdrop is stupendous.


Those crazy French peeps. Some people call them tacky.


On guts – at the line – once a year – nothing but Tour de France.


Tour de France – and they never stopped to smell the flowers. Even the yellow ones.


For a while, Hinault was the Tour.


Tour de France: Hinault believed in leaving a trail of dust in his wake.


Tour de France. “May we go a little slower?”


Tour de France – nothing but a bike ride. Right.


Tour de France – pace yourself.


Tour de France – and catch up time.


Viva le Tour. Think speed.


Viva Le Tour: the DEVIL is prepared … to snack. Gotta’ keep him cool for the Alps ; )


Tour de France: it ends soon (on TV). It lives on forever (especially on DVD).


Tour de France: no matter where he places – he’s still The Boss.


Tour de Brawl: now that’s racing!

Out of nowhere Barreda found a spare wheel – and used it for some smack down on Costa. The two fell to the ground right after this photo was taken and traded fists-in-faces until they were pulled apart. Now that’s racing!


Tour de France: the mountains are calling. And yes, the Tour will be decided in the mountains. No doubt.

As The Boss suffered and agreed to stick to the plan, his mind wasn’t on the mountains – it was on the mountains. Staying seated means staying in the moment. If you give your concentration to another road, another route all you do is give up what’s in front of you. Depicted here I imagine my own ride would be a bit more cautious and SLOW!

None of us are worthy. Ride oneth.


Tour de France: small victories mile after mile.


Tour de France: Lance finishes 4th today – and will podium again – in this, his last Tour.

Sadly I read the news today that Lance Armstrong is truly calling this his last year in the Tour de France. Understandably, it takes its toll year after year. I assume that George Hincapie may follow. No matter the outcome, it’s certainly going to be a lively 2010 race. Much more lively than the white ball event going on in South Africa. Nothing against sports with little white pills that are chased around – mind you. BTW #Germany.

Ok then. Viva la Tour!


Tour de France: need I say more?

Tour de France: 20 days of TIVO

Fans are crazy in World Cup play – but nothing compares to the Tour. Nothing. Imagine 1,000,000 people lining an Alp climb …. with the ability to touch some of the most important athletes on the planet. Now imagine for moment the crazed fans of World Cup play having that kind of access …. ha! The fights resulting from opposing teams would outflank many military units.Think about it.

Watch the Tour. See the suffering. Feel the pain. Witness the drama. Only then will you know what real athletes experience on game day. Oh sorry, 20 days straight. In fact, with one prologue event and 20 stages, the 2010 Tour will cover a total distance of 2,263 miles. Their average speed will approach 26mph. Whew. The “not worthy” phrase will be echoed again and again long after the Tour concludes in late July.

Viva la Tour.


The Tour: in 12 days it starts

The Tour is coming and trust me, it will be bigger than the game being played in South Africa. Sure, I recognize the world is watching the games in South Africa, but it has none of the human suffering or drama of the Tour. In just a few days it begins. Viva la Tour.


Tattoos by the numbers.
