One of me two favorite sporting events has begun...of course the World Cup is the greatest, but shit man, four years is a long time....and no, the US v. Trinidad and Tobago qualifying games don't fucking cut it......SO luckily for us bike riding europhiles, we get a yearly dose of Le Tour de France...and its about as addictive as sports get to watch, the stradegy of team tour racing is RIDICULOUS!!!!!I can't get enough......IT looks like Lance is gonna roll again.....but maybe Ivan Basso will give time a run....this weekend will be spent waking up at 6am to watch saturday and sunday's mountain legs......my favorite rider so far is Erick Dekker...he's Dutch for one, and he makes big moves......also so Tom Boonen is the man this year.....shit, I gotta get some sleep, stage 5 starts in a couple hours
