Any other goEMAW cycling fans?  Nothing says summer like the sounds of Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen over breakfast.

Used to watch a bunch when I was in High School after football workouts in the mornings.  Now i'll watch on days when i'm at the lake but not really follow anything during the week.  The bus thing on Saturday and the little dog yesterday were pretty hilarious.

Yes, on both accounts.

Saturday's finish with the bus and possibly moving the finish line, then the crash, was pretty chaotic.  I was hoping Cavendish would win the stage and get to wear the yellow for at least a day.

The Tour just isn't the same without Lance.

I agree. The amount of butthurt that he caused the rest of the world was something special.

Maybe I buried my sarcasm to deep.

I haven't watched the tour much before this year, but I have been watching pretty religiously this summer. It's pretty fun. I like the scenery.

Team Sky is going to have to hold it together in the Alps better than they did today or I think Froome could be in trouble. Team Movistar and Quintara looked strong today.

Ventoux on Sunday.  :excited:

Could not believe the time gained by Contador today. Also was glad to see Cavendish finally get one. Does anyone else think this Quintana kid has a chance? He is only 5 minutes back and he crushes in the mountains, could really see some big changes with the upcoming stages.  :drool:

Froome  :sdeek: again.

I hope Quintana gets a mountain stage win this week.
