Default Tdf 2011

For the first time since I can't remember, maybe 10 years, I am not watching the TDF.

Sorry, I have just reached the end. I don't care to watch, Contador, a known doper wrap up another title.

As far as I am concerned, there is officially zero credibility in that sport, and they are going to lose people like me.

I'm not watching but I'm following in hopes that Contador loses. He's behind right now, but with his tainted meat he might catch up.

At least Contador didn't win today. Perhaps BMC can win it for Cadel Evans.

Not paying attention this year has helped show me how off-the-radar the TDF is. You don't hear a lick about it anywhere. The stage results aren't even making the first page of the ESPN.com.

Did you miss the camera crew car throwing a cyclist into a barbed wire fence? Insane.

No, I have not seen it. Nor come across any report talking about it.

French TV crew car crashes into Juan Antonio Flecha, forcing Johnny Hoogerland through the air and into the fence, at 0:12.

They were talking about wattage, and the winner the other day, Greipel, I believe was has five spikes of wattage over 1000 before his final spike of 21 seconds near 1800 watts. Incredible power at the end of a hundred mile plus race.
