Holy $#!+ !!! Put on your big boy lungs.

Just give me the oxygenated blood NOW! And toss in a bottle of Nitrous Oxide while you're at it. Better riding through chemistry is my plan to get up that hill.

WOW!
That was Phenomenal!
A perfect tactical stage from the juggernaut, that is team, Jumbo Visma, but an impressive display of Mano y Mano played out by the two best rivalries we’ve seen in years.
And this is only stage six!

A few shake ups in the overall leaders jerseys, but if anything, this race has just become a little bit tighter.
It’s blow for blow right now!

An epic day 6 in pictures.

It was a great day for some, not so much for others.
Tomorrow’s stage 7 to Bordeaux, is for the sprinters.
Maybe Mark Cavendish will win his 35th stage, and eclipse the great Eddy Merckx for the all time lead in Tour de France stage wins?
We’ll see!
Stay tuned.

To some, it’s just a bicycle race.
But to those in the know, it’s a race against Man, Machine, and Mother Nature.

Have a safe race, Gentlemen!

A sport that is sanitized thru the promotion of 'safeness' is hardly a 'sport' at all. A 'bloodless victory' bangs a dull gong. No reflection on you, Brother Marty. Have just about had enough of the 'safety patrol' flexing it's overreach.

106 miles in the saddle today, and it all came down to a bunch sprint for the win.
It’s 3 for 3 for Jasper Philipsen!
Cavendish gave it a good go, but Philipsen is proving to be the fastest man on wheels this year.

That wraps up the first week of racing.
Two more weeks to go!
Is this thing nuts or what?
