One more day
Payback is a bitch
El Pistolero just showed up to a gun fight with a spatula full of mayonnaise. Image source and full story here: http://velonews.competitor.com/2011/07/news/is-contador-cooked-rivals-say-dont-count-him-out-yet_184017.
That would be 18 stage wins
Boom. And takes green. Story at Velonews. Image source: http://naomilouisee.tumblr.com/post/7580273987. The points competition looks a bit like this at the moment: Cavendish @ 251 points Rojas @ 235 Gilbert @ 231 Greipel @ 164 I’d say Gilbert has a good shot at it. But, that’s just because I really need sleep and Gilbert is a [...]
A father and his son
Today was Torts day. Or, rather today is Torts day. Because this day ain’t over by a long shot. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, consider yourself lucky. Anyway, it’s dinner time, the whole fam is home, and I’m going to fire off this one quick little rest-day gem: Image source: http://velonews.competitor.com/2011/07/road/2011-tour-de-france-rest-day-gallery_183240/attachment/183249.

Horner on the Cav diet plan
I went to France and all I got was a broken nose, a concussion, some fries and a royal with cheese. Image source: http://twitpic.com/5o76et. Can you tell I just took a study break?
Johnny Hoogerland is a hero
Hoogerland got knocked sideways by a passing French television car, and sent Mach 10 into a barbed wire fence upside-down and rolling over the front of his bike. The video has already been posted here on DC. This is a clearer version off Youtube. To say it was ugly would be a vast understatement. It [...]
Stage 9 – the fucking car hits the riders. WTF!
Got this video from Kevin T. on the Facebooks. Off. The. Hook.
The Lion King has spoken
Image source: http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/photos/cipollini-thinks-cavendish-is-not-yet-in-top-form/180960. What’s he looking at? Who cares. Something mere mortals cannot see. What’s he talking about? Frites boy Cav. Who else? “Cavendish is great talent, a real champion. He’s the best sprinter of his epoch, but I think he still needs to learn to manage himself,” Cipollini commented in Dinan on Thursday. “At [...]
Costa Takes It
Quite the ride by Costa today. Equally impressive rides by Van Garderen to take the climbers jersey, Gilbert to take back the green jersey, and Hushovd to keep the yellow jersey.
Cav first in Chateauroux
Mark Cavendish. Seventeen Tour de France stage wins. Boom. Image Source: http://www.daylife.com/photo/0bvu9v59MT8S4?q=tour+de+france. Full write-up on the stage: http://www.cyclingnews.com/tour-de-france/stage-7/results.
Who’s a baller? Cav’s a baller.
Haven’t watched even one minute of the stage even though it’s been recorded since early this morning. I just haven’t the time. Shit, I haven’t even read about it. All I’ve seen is a couple of photos. And they pretty much tell me everything I to know. A couple guys fell. One hurt badly enough [...]
This is your brain..um I mean legs, on drugs
