Which one is d'Artagnan?

I wasn’t lying about yesterday's sumo wrestlers.

Um hello japes: Charly Wegelius took a giant foam finger from a spectator, dropped to the back of the pelaton, and signaled for service with it.  AMAZE.

Crowd noise: “Keep going strong, keep going strong, I love breakaways, keep going, come on!”

Uh I hope Charly was just having a bit of fun with Johan Van Summeren there.  Otherwise, is he drunk on today’s stage?  I hope they’re friends, cuz I’m not sure if Charly’s gestures translate in a very pleasant way.

Oh Johan’s giggling. I can’t imagine it was a serious problem then.

Brian Holm is preeeetty awesome.  He answered a lot of stupid questions very politely, then Ned said they had to go and he was like “Oookaay, ciao ciao.”  I like when they go in the team car, you get Phil shouting “eyes on the road!” or this delight.

Team TheShack is so dominant.  Though I suppose that’s to be expected from a team founded by Lance Armstrong. 

Ooh the breakaway group is starting to attack each other.

Geography with Phil and Paul is slightly mental. “Keep the sea on the right, you can’t go wrong!”

They are just shooting all over the road with these attacks.

“The messing around by this breakaway” has meant that Lay-oh-pard and Rabobank chasers have caught them.

Caught them and passed them.

Ooh an anonymous Leopard has just given Linus Gerdemann his bike. 

Fuglsang it was.  Some of the Leopards really resemble each other: Andy, Linus, and even Jakob all sort of have a weird similarity on the bike. Further supporting my theory that the Schlecks only hire people that look like them.

God the pelaton is right on top of them.

Aww they’ve been caught and the Rabobank and Lay-oh-pard chasers shook hands. 

Tejay’s pretty badass, he’s just right up in there when it kicks up.

“Bernie Eisel, the mastermind."

Very shovey at the moment. Hey Sagan, that’s not how we do it in America.  Actually it totally is.

Oh HTC has dropped off the front. That’s disappointing.

THAT WAS AWESOME!

HTC had dropped off and then OUT OF NOWHERE there was Leigh Howard and Matt Goss and they just POWERED UP and took the win!  HELL YEAH MATT GOSS.

Sagan is incredibly impressive though; he just pushes right up on pure strength and nearly got it today.

“And HTC, they ride like they always do; they ride like a bunch of musketeers.”
