Are you watching the Tour de France?

You should be. Today's stage was incredible. Columbia-HTC was chasing down a random breakaway, when a turn in the road and ferocious crosswinds provided an opportunity. They took it, and gapped the main field. Who should happen to be in the right place to go with them? Lance Armstrong and Fabian Cancellara, that's who! The 29-person group stayed away to the finish, with Cavendish and Hushovd duking it out for the sprint finish. Cavendish won in an impressive double-kick effort.

Post-race interviews were great. Cav accused the rest of the field of being junior racers..."you want to race like juniors, you get junior results." Gutsy, but he is undeniably the best sprinter in the world at the moment. Even Lance got a little riled up. Alberto Contador did not make the break, so Lance leapfrogged him on GC. Asked about this, Lance responds "It doesn't take a genius to know in that wind, with a turn coming up, you need to be up front." Ouch. The Astana team table was probably an...interesting...place to be tonight!
