Its that time of year! I am a Schleck fan but no Andy (broken pelvis) this year so I guess Frank will have to do, anyone but Contador, oh yeah he isn't there!!! I actually like the new Radio Shack-Nissan team, Frank Schleck, Chris Horner (US), LOVE Jens Voight (hardest workin' guy in the pelaton), Popvych, Kloden, Monfort, Zebeldia, Cancellara. I don't know much about Gallopin but he is young, French and riding well, didn't pay much attention to him when he was with Cofidis. I guess the Shack has someone to push on July 4th and Bastille day as well.
I just wish I had time to watch every minute like I have in the past.
Congrats to George Hincapie as he is tying the record for most tours ridden. I have a young friend on one of his development teams and rode with him on a couple of occasions in the mountains of North Carolina during his Postal days. Always hoped he would win the Paris-Roubaix but second was the best he could ever muster, but that still takes a hard, hard man, they don't call it the Hell of the North because of temperature!
