I am more than happy for this to be the live thread. Lets try to restrict it to talk about the race! And if possible make the graphics friendly to all.

I was trying to figure out what happened to Levi since he wasn’t in the standings, but I looked around and found out he broke his wrist yesterday and had to withdraw.

It looked to me like nothing else happened in today’s stage.

Contador and Armstrong rode togther very pointedly over the summit of the highest peak today. No real attacks, no one tipped their hand. However, the day will be coming soon...
Too bad about Leiphimer, I was hoping for and all Astana podium, but doubt that will happen now.

OK, I’m just curious. Did I somehow get on a bicycle ping list? If so, kindly remove my name. It is extremely bad FReeper form to add people to ping lists, unless they specifically ask to be added.

Lance was certainly less than gracious in his post race comments today.

I haven't cared anything about Lance Armstrong since he divorced his wife. Then he took up with Cheryl Crow and his stock went down even further. Now, I just can't stand him.

It's getting a little boring, waiting for the race to actually begin. The most interesting parts so far are the endings of a stage.

Please feel free to post pics. I did not delete the other thread but it appears to be gone. Also, please feel free to start another thread if you wish.

I think it is great that there is a place to discus the race, and if others want a different type of thread, the more the merrier!

This thread has been started as well. I have no allegiance to either, just so long as we have somewhere to discuss Le Tour.
