oh crap, the tdf is on!

hey, why did no one mention that the tour is on?

wtf? srsly.

anyway, i guess you probably know more what's going on over that since you've been watching it for like weeks now and i am trying to catsup. (clever pun, eh?)

so, instead of some tdf review/prediction/made-up b.s. i have decided to 'run what i brung', cuz 'rubbing is racing'.

hot/not.

calling it in = hot.

as much as i dislike the cav, i gotta like that fact that he spends his day in the peloton coming up with new and exciting victory salutes. but.... hopefully he was calling in an order for a green columbia/htc kit b/c a leaders jersey w/o matching shorts/gloves/helmet = not a good look.

srsly.

"hello, bob stapleton? yeah, it's cav. hey man, um, do y'all think you could hook me up with some green tinted bibs and shit? i mean, even euskatel can deck their guy in full polka dots, and they are a joke... oh, and bob, how hard would it be to get my national flag on my shoes? look into it ok? thx."

Franco Pellizotti (Liquigas) battled polka dot jersey Egoi Martinez for mountain points throughout the stage.

hell, even ag2r was prepared!
who even thought they had a shot in hell at any jersey!?
but nocentini proves the italians a born with the genes to know how to work a runway.

the man busts out the full yellow kit/gloves/helmet/socks/wife/kids... that's preparedness.

live it up, bro.
you're on a french team. your days are numbered.

custom airbrushing on anyone/thing that is not mario cipolini = not hot.

Danilo Napolitano (Team Katusha) shows off his custom helmet.

thats like spitting in the face of all things cipo, and blasphemy will get you nowhere.

Danilo Napolitano (Team Katusha) walks across the finish line after being involved in a crash at the last turn.

i was glad to see heinrich haussler doing it for the revolution on stage 12.

Heinrich Haussler (Cervelo) is overcome with emotion as he takes his first career Tour stage.

he took an enormous risk throwing the fist, could've lost everything.

maybe the uci did not take heinrich seriously as he is 'just some white guy on a bike' to them.
we know the truth.
