le (de)tour de style.

the freaking tour is over!
i missed it.

i have been doing some craazy googling, and i can't figure out what happened.
maybe i should switch to yahoos? or bing?
maybe i should just buy an iphone and just 'get over bicycles' all together.
there must be an app for that.

so, i have been checking d-listed, perezhilton, and usweakly everyday but there is almost no mention of the 'le tour' at all.
...

SPOILER ALERT:

i did manage to find out who was on the podium though, except i don't know what order they are supposed to be in...

the podium was/is: albert contador, lance spears, and andy shreck.

i figure it shouldn't be too hard to determine the correct podium order. i mean, the race is french, so clearly the results will be based on who was the most fashionable.

let us examine the facts:
...

lance spearstrong, aka 'sparklefingaz':

with a clear affection for swooping necklines and 'questionable sports coats', i think it is safe to say that lancey finished 3rd.
while he is sponsored by nike, he is rarely sporting 'fresh-out-the-box' dunks, and would be better off wearing nothing at all rather than anything else in nikes 'fashion/livestrong' line...

albert contador, aka 'le petite diesel engine':

albert looks pretty put together for a spanish dude. aka 'doesn't look drunk'.

although word on the street is that he will not be bff's with lance/johan/twitter anymore, he IS still friends with levi leipenhiemer. here is a photo of them hanging out after the tour. total bffs.

and with friends like levi, it should be obvious that albert will never stand on the top step at a grand tour... but at least he doesn't have to shop at radioshack.

andy shreck, aka 'der pimp':

there are not many photos of the elusive shreck brother, but he knows where to be and who to be with if he does find himself in front of the camera.
here he is post le tour 'just chillin' with my fav Gossip Girl stars serena and dan! omg.

so totes jeals of andy schrecks.
plus, unlike lance, andy does have his own dunks.

now that's top step material.
...

so based on the facts available, here is your final podium:

1st: andy
2nd: albert
3rd: lance

also, i believe 4th place went to this guy. maybe.

what did you think of this years tours of france?
were you sad that cav didn't win stage 7?
do you hate my blogs?
do you want your own dunks?
