Todd Wells, a friend of Drunkcyclist, just took the top spot at Leadville. Good on ya, Wellsy. Please buy him as many drinks as he can handle. Which ought to be around four. The embed may tank.

Todd Wells takes top spot at Leadville
Vive le tour!
He gave it everything.
I was very impressed this morning. Cadel Evans is a worthy winner of the 2011 Tour de France. He earned this. Andy Schleck left nothing on the road. He attacked with panache, he rode for the win, and he did all that he could. “It is not the critic who counts: not the man who [...]
Cadel in yellow
Cadel put it all out there today, and is set to become the first Australian to win the Tour. I didn’t think Andy would give up that much time, especially when defending yellow. If Andy develops an off-season weight issue, can we officially start calling him Jan 2.0?
Voekler
I snapped this photo of the live coverage playing on my television this morning (and shared via twitter). Maybe not the best photograph of the day’s action, but my god, I was coming out of my skin! At one kilometer to go, he had just about lost the jersey to Schleck. He turned himself inside [...]
Check the Schlecktacles
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, now you too can be outfitted with a pair of genuine Schlecktacles. Perfect for the cyclist who spends 90% of his time looking at what’s going on behind him.

You gonna steal my flow?
First thing that popped into my mind when I saw this pic? Busta Rhymes. Shit is bananas. Yo which muthafucka stole my flow Eenie….meenie miney mo Throw that type of nigga right out my window http://rapgenius.com/Busta-rhymes-woo-hah-got-you-all-in-check-lyrics Dude put it to ‘em today. It was awesome. You think that you can hide, you think you can [...]
Evans gives it some stick
Today was pretty interesting. Evan’s showed that he really is the man to watch this year. Contrador showed he’s not one to just sit there and take it. The Schlecky twins, well, they showed that a great team and gobs of help can’t make up for a lack of form. Andy S. just ain’t got [...]

Voeckler holds yellow
One more day again, eh Tommy? Survived the Pyrenees. Just like you did in 2004. You never fail to impress. Image source: http://www.daylife.com/photo/0eqK9qQ9z2eRO. Full write up here: http://velonews.competitor.com/2011/07/news/jelle-vandendert-wins-stage-14-of-the-2011-tour-de-france-as-thomas-voeckler-defends-yellow-jersey_184309. I’m not quite ready to call him a potential Tour winner. He will need a substantially stronger team around him to achieve that goal, even if the [...]
Now with more Thor
Had to post this pic. Had to. Dude brought the FIRE! Image source: http://bikecheckonetwoonetwo.tumblr.com/post/7656280354/thor-showing-off-his-stripes. Saw this quote too: I get chills. This is definitely the sickest thing I’ve done. I had never expected to win a stage like this. I worked alone, worked hard and won in the end. Thor Hushovd http://skijumpingworld.tumblr.com/post/7654160875. I cannot track [...]
Thor drops the Hammer
Don’t fuck with Thor, plain and simple Photo from Cyclingnews.
