How did TJ look today?

Ok-ish...still doesn't respond the quickest, but didn't look out of place climbing. He did almost get gapped on Froome's attack since Thomas decided to block everyone once Quintana got by him. Little stuff like that is why he may not podium.

 
So apparently the Sky train just rode up PdB faster than Lance in 02 and about the same time as in 04...into a headwind...with rain.

Let that sink in.

 
Froome should be happy with today since all anyone with an agenda will want to talk about is Thomas finally realizing his potential as a world-class climber.

 
2010 tourmalet video stupid commercial break eliminated about 30-45 seconds of my run. i am in the blue shirt with the american flag wrapped around my head. the white car, basically had had enough of me, and started blasting his horn and accelerated and forced me to run off the road :D

camp, 2 days early

cows and llamas!!

camp is down in the valley floor

sweet pic

the back side i tried to capture how steep it is, but it's hard to see. it's crazy steep!!

the walk up

waiting for them to arrive

the breakaway

i'm off!!

right before the l'equippe car ran me off the road

thanks for indulging me. it was very cool to look at these again. i can't believe it's been 5 years!!

 
Greipel again! The guy is a beast on this tour. And my team is at 246 on velogames right now. To be honest I can't believe there are that many teams better! It's too bad the overall jersey winners are so boring.

I have to say that France is such a beautiful country. The tour covers so many miles and none of it looks like the outskirts of LA or Gary Indiana or the Bronx. Just stunning views every step of the way.

 
Adding more fuel to the fire, LeMond is calling for more "transparency' from Sky since it's very Armstrongesque.

Brailsford is claiming ignorance on what Froome weighs when his "nutritionists" claim to weigh him every morning.

Granted the top 7 (at least) are all doped up, but it's nice to see the non-British media call out Sky on this.

 
this tour is weird. the 'flat' stages have provided much more drama than the mountain stages. they've been by far the most interesting to watch.

and my man crush on sagan only grows.

Yup. Dude gets in the break, sprints, and climbs mountains.

 
Contador attacks from 74km to go? No chance they let him go, right?

P.S. TeJay is ill, and having a ROUGH day.

P.S. Sagan in the break again ;)

 
Finally won a stage. 8 of my 9 riders are still in the race. 4 riders in the top 20. My team just doesn't score points. Fabian Cancellara is still my 5th best rider points wise and he dropped after stage 3.

Something wrong with the scoring when I have the top 3 riders in the GC, but sit in 6th place...Next year I have to remember that the GC counts less than the individual stages...

Final gc points don't get awarded until the end

I've got 2 riders on the podium right now, the green jersey plus Greipel and the 2nd place rider in the King of the Mountains. I'm liking my chances. I win money for this, right?

I like your chances too.
