The Tour is Here


Well, another one thing that I am looking forward to this month is the Tour De France. As some of you may know, stage 1 was held today as an individual time trial in Monaco. Fabian Cancellara, one of the favorites of the race, held off almost the entire Astana team to place first and take the first yellow jersey of the race. The real news of this opening stage is not only Cancellara's win, but the fact that of the racers, Astana holds four of the top 10 positions. Alberto Contador(2), Andreas Kloden(4), Levi Leipheimer(6), and Lance Armstrong(10) from Astana had great showings today. Whether or not Lance Armstrong will be able to perform througout the race is still unknown, but he had a good start today. I'm glad to see one of my favorite riders, Levi Leipheimer, on the leaders board as well.

I'll try to update daily throughout the race, so you can all know at least what's going on with the race. Enjoy.
