Now, The Alps...
If you watch only one stage of the Tour de France, tomorrow and Wednesday will probably be the best days of the three-week race, as the riders will be in The Alps. Here is where it is entirely possible that an overall winner will emerge.

Didja' see yesterday's stage? The 2006 Tour de France overall winner crashed through a guardrail and fell off a cliff...to the pavement twenty feet below. Broke his shoulder. He's out...

Cavendish is an animal. Sprint machine.

It seems like they ride 50 feet and then there is another 5 minutes of commercials before the next 50 feet.

I think Cavendish dropped out to get ready for the Olympics. Why not? He already proved he's the fastest road sprinter in the world.
