He did win it before…but it doesn’t seem likely. Honestly I’ll be tuning in for the scenery.

Great race! Won't spoil it in case you need/want to watch the replay, but definitely fun!

It was. Road cycling is growing on me. I just can’t stand the people on the side of the road closing on the riders at the worst possible time just because they want to touch or take a picture. Security should do a better job at keeping them away.

That was freaking awesome. I was rooting for the 2nd place finisher to pull it off, but damn…. you can’t deny the greatness witnessed today.

That crash was nasty.

I've followed road racing since the Miguel Indurain hey-days of the early 90s, which also happened to be when I got my first real road bike (a lugged steel Giant) and the TDF was a 2-3 hour show on network TV (or maybe it was ESPN?). I spent a lot of time on that Giant back then - more than on my mtn bikes - since I could ride from my house instead of driving to ride (still that way today). Especially since the more local mtn bike trails I ride today - Neshaminy and Pennypack hadn't been as developed.

I'll watch pretty much any form of bike racing I can. BMX, cyclocross, road, dirt - doesn't matter. It's also why I don't really consider myself a "mtn biker" or a "roadie" but simply a "Cyclist." I'm interested in all versions of cycling.
