I just pop in this forum now and then, damn work gets me everytime.

Yes, the coverage on OLN is great and for the minute or two that it takes to watch them go by, I much like the park in front of the tube and crack a bottle of wine( you always have to drink wine watching the tour) this is my mentality, not saying anyone else should do it.

My oldest son went to the L'Alpe d'Huez stage last yr and was finally convinced that to be there is truly amazing. This mountain they ride up is a feat in itself to drive up in a car much less bike up it, truly a spectacle of a sport.

Yes, the Cannibal is the all time greatest bike rider ever period. He dominated this race from start to finish and in his carreer he did most races that way, it is a shame that his son Axel never lived up to his dad's reputaion but that was a feat that probably could never be done other than producing a superman for a son.
