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.

This is a photo from the Tourmalet in the Pyrenees from earlier in the race. The Alps are much more difficult.

Just a friendly cycling PSA for y'all.

That' the spirit! The advent of nut-huggers saved the sport if you ask me.

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.

No *****! I can already play the Mojito theme from the Bacardi commercial on at least five musical instruments.
