Tour de France 2011

It's finally time and the story is clear, Contador vs. the Schlecks. Riis vs. Andersen. Even before it starts this TdF has delivered.

I'll watch the SportsCenter highlights for the crashes.

Interesting first stage, though I'm somewhat confused by the ruling on the 2nd crash. 

[Josquius]

The crash was lolworthy.

The 2nd crash was before the start was given iirc, can you be more specific?

Evans won with a couple of inches over Contador. Schleck loses 7 seconds on the first climbing test.

It all makes for a couple interesting weeks.

Positively exhilarating.  Keep up with breathtaking reports, please.

I'll do just that! Cavendish won with a couple of inches over Petacchi and Leipheimer lost some time!!!

I loved today's taster of the mountains

I liked Vinokourov's spirited assault on the leaders.

I liked Vinokourov's spirited assault on the leaders. 

And that American guy's earlier attack.  Van Gardernengen or something Dutch-sounding.

It just struck me that women's bicycling might be rather pleasant to watch.  Cameras right up the bum.  Is there such a thing?
