selenayWell, I think that I've finished. Hopefully. Just gotta get used to the new layout...
A standard road day today and I was really very happy to see Robbie McEwan take the stage. I was even happier that everyone managed to negotiate the last couple of kilometers without falling - that was a dangerous finish. But they couldn't have timed it better and it was fantastic.
Robbie had perfect timing, but really the whole pack did. They left the break away out there for just the right length of time, reeling them in at a point where nobody could jump away again. The only person who might have got it a little wrong today was Tom Boonen - he started his sprint a fraction too early against an uphill drag. Good thing Robbie got it right today :-)
David Zabrisky was back in the peloton today and managed to stay with the group, despite the kind of pain he had to have been in. Good boy :-) I have a feeling that we'll be seeing a lot more of him over the next few years.
I liked Lance's gesture with not wearing the yellow this morning. I wasn't quite as impressed with the race comissaire's decision to make him wear it after all, but I did like the sentiment behind Lance's gesture. He might be a brash American, but he's always shown a lot of respect for Tour traditions.
We have a couple more flat, sprinting days and then we'll reach my favourite part of the race this weekend: the mountains!
Watching B5 was lots of fun. Watching the rest of Rememberance of the Daleks was also much fun. Although I have to admit that the Daleks don't look nearly as scary as the new ones - they blew up and died *way* too easily.
