2010 Tour de France – Stage 19 Wrap-Up
I’m certain to have missed the time cut by now, but here’s my two cents anyway: 1. Is Fabian Cancellara to Tony Martin and time trials what Alberto Contador is to Andy Schleck and the Tour de France? Discuss. 2. Seriously though, I thought I learned my lesson the first 3 times I bet against … Continue reading

2010 Tour de France – Stage 17 Wrap-Up
In the end, today’s stage was perhaps a bit anti-climatic, as first Andy Schleck and then Alberto Contador proved unable to shake the other on the Tourmalet. Clearly, these two are the cream of this year’s Tour de France crop—and considering how only 8 seconds separetes them, we’re on the verge of one of the … Continue reading

2010 Tour de France – Stage 15 Wrap-Up
Today we received more drama and controversy from a Tour that’s been anything but uninteresting. Thomas Voeckler took France’s second consecutive Pyrenean victory—the first win in a Tour for the French Champion since Jacky Durand in 1994. But while Voeckler was enjoying his day in the sun, Andy Schleck and Alberto Contador were continuing their … Continue reading
2010 Tour de France – Stage 14 Wrap-Up
I’m not usually one for histrionics, but I’m running out superlatives to describe the action we’ve seen thus far in the 2010 Tour de France—it truly might go down as one of the most exciting Tours in recent memory. As someone said during today’s live blog, “2010 Giro d’Italia, meet the 2010 Tour de France.†… Continue reading

2010 Tour de France – Stage 12 Wrap-Up
Here’s the question of the day: was it worth it Alberto? In my humble opinion, yes and no. Yes, because Contador’s attack in the middle of the Cote de la Croix-Neuve, gapped Andy Schleck, earning Contador ten seconds, but more importantly sending a message to the Luxembourger wearing yellow: “I’m faster than you are.†On … Continue reading

2010 Tour de France – Stage 2 Wrap-up
I hate to say it, but there are more important things to worry about than who might or might not have been robbed of a chance to sprint for second place in Stage 2 of the 2010 Tour de France. Such as: Â Â 1. Did Andy and/or Frank Schleck break a collarbone? (No.) 2. … Continue reading
