Tour de France

Can you believe it? Has anyone been watching the Tour? Anyone? Did you see today's show. Ugh! I can't believe it. What is going on? What is up with these guys. OK, I'm already disappointed because Levi Leipheimer is out. He was my guy. Now, he's out because of his wrist. So, then I've spent the past couple days wondering how I feel about Lance Armstrong. Do I cheer for him? Do I want him to win. He's the leading American contender, but I'm not a fan of athletes who retire and then come back. Enough already. So, I've been thinking about that. Then today, a fantastic race. Hincapie. Hincapie can get the yellow jersey! Ooohh. He's so close! He's so close. Armstrong was a former teammate. Is he going to help him? If Hincapie gets the jersey, it drops him down, but not much. So you wonder what is going to happen there and then you see Cavendish -- who is Hincapie's teammate - sprint to the finish line, loses the yellow jersey for Hincapie! What is up with that? Cavendish had nothing to gain. What is up with that? Ugh. I'm so mad! Anyone else out there mad? Did I see this wrong? Am I wrong here? Did I misunderstand what is going on? I'm new to spectator cycling, but am I right about this? Ugh! I'm so mad.
OK, had to vent.
I'm going to watch the rerun this evening. I've got to see the peloton and their last couple kilometers to the finish. I've got to see this again.
