On The Eve Of A New Dawn

Le Tour! Prologue! London! Millar? Wiggans? Cancellara? Who fucking cares?! It's gonna be another one of them rare 'open' Tours - the phrase they love to use when there's not an Armstrong, Indurain, Lemond, Hinault, Merckx, etc. in the peloton. Meanwhile the real betting will be in events off the main race, as in, who's gonna get popped by the narco's next? 'Cause you know, dope saves, if you're actually a dialysis patient. Some folks have way too much to say about the topic. Our man Vontz is on the case for Rupert. Meanwhile in real human racing, Jay Petervary won the fourth annual Great Divide Race (GDR) in a record time of 15 days, 4 hours, and 18 minutes. For those keeping track, that's 200,000 vertical feet of climbing across 2,490 miles, self supported, from Montana to New Mexico. La Grande Boucle indeed. If yer near Pasadena (and who isn't?) go to this bar, get drunk and watch the Tour with a bunch of fixed gear freaks. Got GoogleEarth? Here's another way to watch Le Tour. If you wanna laugh, bookmark this site now and check it regularly. In other worldly news, crustaceans in Japan ate an island. As for tomorrow's racing; I've got a tenner on Millar blaming his mechanic, Cancellara getting the flu and Wiggans choosing the wrong gearing while someone from Astana or T-Mob wins. Viva!
