Well the Tour is over for another year. Alberto Contador stamped his victory with undeniable authority. Cavendish made the sprints a bit boring with his unbelievable speed. And I, alas, have fallen in love with the podium girl on the left. Doomed to be unrequited, no doubt.I can't understand why bicycle racing is not more popular in the U.S. Football, baseball, soccer...how boring are they? Conducted inside, mostly controlled environment, same places time and again. The Tour is contested on the open road, in beautiful ever-changing scenery, and the riders display the pinnacle of human capabilities, endurance, and skill. Nothing comes close in my book.
Until next year, Tour. I am now sad. I think I'll ride my bike.
