The Power and the Heartbreak TDF - Stage 14 and 13
Stage 13 - Break went away again and Cervelo Test Team soloed in for the win - great for this young guy.
Stage 14 - Today's stage was super exciting and super frustrating.
The Power - Ivanov rode away from his breakaway companions just like he did in 2001. What a pedaling style that guy has...just super smooth and powerful - awesome to watch! And he did it EXACTLY like he did in 2001 when my and my brother were watching the tour...I remember us thinking how awesome it was back then and it was just even fore awesome in HD.
The Heartbreak - 1st of all, I think Astana really &^%%# Big George. There was NO REASON for Astana to be on the front of the peleton...infact, per the TV, at one time they were on the front for over 30 minutes straight with about 60 to 80kms to go. I was thinking to myself...what are these guys doing...why the hell don't they FORCE the yellow jersey to chase????? It's not their kuleana to do sh!t so why burn any of your matches on the day before the big climbing stage....their tactics surely closed down WAY more than 6 seconds today and if they had just backed off a bit to keep the gap at like 10 minutes or so...it would have been FINE cause Big George is surely going to loose over 10 minute tomorrow...
2nd, I'm glad I don't have any Garmin stuff cause this American team really %^$^%$#& Big George in pushing the pace in the last 5 to 10km or so. I mean, the French teams would NEVER chase down their own country men, especially if they had a chance for the Yellow Jersey...but these clowns are so @#@#%$! that instead of having an icon of American cycling in Yellow today, they HELPED to rip vertual jersey OFF of a FELLOW Amercian's back. Big George has been representing America for over 14 years in the pro pelton and what these guys did to help AG2R shut down the last minute or so is inexcusable...what a heartbreak for George...
