A brilliant Start to the 2009 TDF

[Toks]

I'm absolutely loving it - every single stage!! Today was fantastic. Marco don't go and spoil this thread now

[George]

yesterday was a fantastic stage, I think Contador went too late, if Lance wasn't there he'd have gone much earlier and gained the yellow, its almost as though he sought permission from Lance to attack.

Bradley was amazing and now I know why Cadel never attacks you call that an attack Mr Evans it was so funny the way Albert just blew him away

If you can't get enough tv footage and understand French, there's a good 1-hour post-stage program every day with interviews etc, with videos kept in archive

It does get a bit soppy when a Frenchman wins a stage (or every other day) and everyone insists on calling Lance "Amstrong"

nous partons à samedi

So that means we arrive at the finish in Verbier (hopefully) before following the tour until the summit of Mont Ventoux. Decided against hacking it back to Paris for the last day.

Was surprised that no one from ACC was interested when I first posted about his ages ago. Still, I'm hoping to be able to update my blog with details of the trip...

Have a great time Rob, wish I could be in Verbier too. For the total Tour experience, remember you need to set the portable chairs atop the van roof, start drinking beer at 8am from the coolbox, and wear nothing but shorts and sandals. And don't forget to shout like a maniac at the caravan and riders (allez allez hop hop hop).

You got room for a mtb? It's well worth it!

that video is pretty good. two kids from school did the same kinda thing with that clip but with teachers (SLT mainly) and it was hilarious. then the teachers and their meglomania reported it to youtube and gave the kids suspensions.
