le Tour de France

 Anyone watching it? I've been staying up late every night to watch the finish. I would love to see Porte win but sadly he won't now. My favourite team is BMC and I do a lot of recreational bike rides at least once a week 30km and wear the BMC top proudly. Who do you want to win?

Eh..neither here nor there about cycling personally but I can't help but admire the sheer athleticism these guys have, some of the stages you see on the news look like utter torture.

Sheer athleticism...

...you would like to think so, and maybe the sport's been cleaned up to some extent since Lance and his seven years of chemical warfare, not to mention all the others that dobbed him in so they themselves wouldn't get sprung...but it's hard for me to view this event anymore without being skeptical.

 Yep, I'm a bit the same.
