Holy cow a Frenchman won the stage today. Voekler pulled off the Hail Mary today thanks largely to the sprinters teams (Garmin being the exception) being too scared to close it down so Cav could win again. Good for Voekler though he has always been a gutsy rider and it is good to see aggression rewarded. I hope he doesn’t turn into a one trick pony like Jackie Durrant though, predictability is boring.
Am I the only one who remembers that Cancelarra won the Tour de Suisse, which if I am not mistaken has a few mountains in it? Just saying.

After a month of Tour watching head to the hills with camping gear from Backcountry.com
I hear that and I hope Cancelarra gives em hell for a few days!
I like to think that Lance could easily make up that fraction of a second, but in the mountains the time difference could likely go big in the other direction.
Didnt we see Fabian at the front for the first few climbs of each mtn stage last year shredding apart the peleton for his team? I think people underestimate the man in the mtns. He is not a pure climber, but he sure isnt a sprinter!
You need to keep this thing updated. I want some smack talk, there has been a lot to talk about, most of all Hincapies cry baby ass.
