Evans just won Le Tour
- Perhaps. I'm no fan of A. Schleck, but he has improved his TT abilities the last couple of years. A :57 sec time gap is no walk in the park. Go Cadel.ronburgundy

@Amicus, you'd be shanked in the crowd after the stage. The sport has a lot of unwritten rules. Anyway, the last day is largely a flat loop. Meaning, that it's easy for the teams to control the shape of the race.
What an incredible TdF this year. One of the best of the past decade. Sad to not see Andy on top but he's still a kid and this will just be part of the magic of his story. Super happy for Cuddles.

Buster, it's not a spectator sport, it's a participator sport. As in... most cycling fans are cyclists themselves. In contrast, you won't find that many football fans actually play football. Cycling is not set up in an arena and it isn't meant to be a show or entertainment. But yes, 95% of the flat stages are boring. Yet when the mountain stages arrive, I can't look away. There's some great drama on those slopes.

If I hear one more hipster rave on about the TV coverage of the Tour, I'll spew. Sure, 5 minutes of French countryside is nice, but how could anyone possibly watch more than that? It's almost as exciting as Nascar.

well... i dunno what the driver was thinking.. BUT.. i can see why he sped up in panic and maybe made the choice he did....
in his shoes i could see three options:
1] the above - if he didnt swerve that aggressively he may have hit the tree and flipped the car onto the road.. (im no expert though)
2] drive right into the tree
3] drove through the fences
again we could say he should have never got into that situation.. but dont get me wrong, he should be dealth with appropriately.
