the good side of cycling

[Marva32]

reading about Jens Voigt breaking his jaw during his crash, with the posts about all the Jens Voigt jokes, makes you wonder what he did to the tarmac

The mountain stage win by Brice Feillu(sp?).

This year was a triumph for the pharmacists. Nobody got caught. A real testament to the progress of science.

Another "old fart" who's 38, Christophe Moreau, finished in the top 10 of the ITT, higher placed than a certain someone. I thought that was a impressive.

He had a great third week, but I never liked the guy: his implication in the Festina scandal, his style of riding and above all his facial hair dye. And he was the latest real French contender in TdF...
I'll admit I'm biased, so do not mind seeing him mentioned. And just like Lance, he'll continue to ride until his mid-forties even though every year is supposed to be the last

1-) Fascinating places that you haven't been yet & you ride them
2-) That enjoyment you get by reaching the top of that killing hill/mountain that you have been battled for a while
3-) gorgeous women in shorts riding along

But results may take a couple weeks like it did for DiLuca!

I think Brice Feillu was a bright spot this year. I was also impressed with Pelizotti and how agressive he rode the tour!
