from world cup to
bad wagers to
NED vs Espana
to swamp in crocs and jorts
to sharting...


full circle
for those who care


it is the year of the beautiful Spaniards

first the world cup
then penelope cruz and javier bardem get married




and now

the tour de france!!!
contador is ....hot. (38 secs. behind)
no jinxing
just ride on son, ride on


used to admire me some lance
still respect his strength and philanthropic works for survivors
incredible athletic specimen
one of the greatest athletes of all time
however
this latest comeback reeks of pathetic-ness

what is really crazy is...
even at 38th or 50th or 77th place
wherever he finishes
it will look like shit and 'spoil' his rep.
yet it is such a minute percentage of the population that could even qualify for the tour, let alone finish!

this race is one of endurance and strength and mental fortitude
shit is for real

Alberto is good lookin dude, but it's all about the Schleck brothers, well Andy now...
anyway, should be a good last week of racing in the Pyranees and the time trial.

even just the fact that you have seen it ( on televison)
puts you in the minority ( the righteous coolest people on the planet minority! ) in the USA
it is an epic event of endurance. physically and mentally.
it is this incredible combination of strength, timing, strategy, drive, teamwork and individual excellence.

if you cared to, and started following it, you would be hooked.
honestly, in does not translate as well on television.

your bike sounds very cool by the way.! hope you always wear a helmet. seriously.

[littlemamma]

first off, how about jeans that hit just below the knee. Are those ok?

and yep, my boss is a bike racer, so i'm slowly learning...
and I always wear a helmet.
it's the Nutcase brand. I love my brain.

No Doubt! Alberto looked very good ont he attack...
Andy's mechanical couldn't have come at a worse time,
Thursdays stage should be the climbing duel i've been waiting for...
8 seconds can evaporate quickly.
Every TdF needs Drama, and now we have it...

[beantownbubba]

Cycling seems to have more "unwritten rules" than baseball. That's not a good thing.

[joelle]

no rules. just ride.

[joelle]

17 was a beast
some say (schleck) those who win 17, win it all
regardless,
contador....go boy! yellow for the win

also
love me some 'dish

[joelle]

5. 5th closest tour finish ever. 39 seconds. ( this after 3,642 kilometers= 2, 263miles: this is approximately the distance from chicago to la, cali. on a bike!)
4. 4 weeks of awesomeness
3. (effectively tomorrow) 3tour wins
2. 2 incredible athletes battling neck and neck ( 8 seconds separated them for the last week of the race) all the way through stage 19
1. there is only 1 tour de france.

[Tequila Cowboy]

Joelle, does the dirtiness of this sport not bother you? I used to love to watch it but when the allegations first started ten years or so ago and then the lingering questions about Lance Armstrong it lost it's allure to me. Yes it's a grueling event, and maybe it's gotten cleaner but when it's biggest star (Armstrong) is about to be indicted it seems tainted. Really looking for a serious take here since you really know your stuff. Am I wrong to feel this way?
