Le Tour 2013

That was a good finish. Love to see any break-away make good. Especially one where the guy picks up his first pro win ever.

Thought he was going to get sucked up by the chase group and spit out the back, but he stuck it out just long enough! Plus with the one second split - picks up the yellow jersey.

NICE RIDE!

Sagan 2nd, good start for him in the green jersey competition, bad start for Cav.

[CurtEgerer]

When did Radioshack switch to Bianchi Oh wait, they didn't, they just painted their Treks to look like Bianchi Celeste! WTF? Any casual viewer of the Tour will associate Team Radioshack with Bianchi.

Team Time Trial....Aussie Aussie Aussie!

G is a tough dude

Inside the top 10 at 300 m on a flat finish - Cav is almost unbeatable.

Sagan is incredible. He stays close to the fastest sprinters, while pacing the top climbers, there is nothing he can't do.

Happy to see such a good result for EBH. Griepel beaten by Sagan and EBH - hah!

[Laneco]

Lining up for a sprint against Mark Cavendish is like putting a door slammer up against a top fuel dragster... DAMN that guy is fast!

Nobody can beat Cav in a straight up sprint!

The funny thing was, that ad played a bunch on days 2-3 when Cav was hanging off the back of the bus . . .

Has Cav ever won a stage before day 5?

I really, really like Cav, but the promo equates him to the Isle of Mann sick bastards with elephantiasis. MC is a brute but........

Enjoy your 4th and continue your life work with the pups.

Hey Matt - The pups say Happy 4th to you and yours as well.

I think Cav is a phenom - but I'm pulling for (pun intended) C.F. to win it all. In the meantime enjoying the pageantry which can only found in the TDF!

Here we go - stage 8 in the mountains - separating the men from the boys!

Team Sky dominating the first day in the Pyrenees. What a stage! Tomorrow should be even more intense!

Richie Porte from Oz and Brit. Chris Froome.

Froome crosses the finish line...

Now there goes the Columbian Express!"

Good stuff!
