Ok where to start with Le Tour....tried to watch as much as possible but with all the ski training I am lucky to stay awake past 9pm. Seen some stages and some were bad watching (watching the bunch let the break get 17mins on them - boring) and the fantastic stages like Robbies win (what a bender of a sprint...woke the wife with the screaming at the box) and stage 8 - ouch for the aussies!
Guess that is bike racing....got to take the good with the bad. Rogers is a a demi god....the man gets in the break and looks like winning the stage if not the tour? Shame that he binned it on the decent but hey, mechanicals what can you do...but hats off to him getting back on with a dislocated shoulder!
O-Grady was just unlucky to bin it on the same corner...lucky he hit the pole and didnt end up of off the edge in to no mans land and the drop below, unlucky to bust himself up so badly.
Cadel.....great rider but get some nuts dude....have a go we will love you for it. I know you are a conservative rider but hey if you dont win overall will you kick yourself stupid?
Gerro...go Gerro 40th overall on that stage. 3 Cat 1 climbs way to go....enough for me to take a look at the profile and want to catch a lift...crazy stuff!
Looking forward to stage 9 tonight if I can keep the eyes open.
Ok enough Le Tour. Whats me been up to you ask? More skiing over the weekend and lots of work. No riding as yet as the weather has been less than inspiring. Todays weather for example is straight up from the Antartic with a top temp of 5 degs at home with hail, rain and some sleet...forget it (only like it when on skis). Lots and lots of snow at my local ski system which will only make it better skiing for the coming weeks of training. The snow on Monday was awesome ( well done Lake Mtn crew with the grooming...spot on). We had a good session with us skiing out around Jubilee for a while...lots of fun minus the school holiday crowds.
Holidays in 2 weeks so looking forward to putting the feet up.
