Ended too soon, as usual. Great last day (they had perfect weather!) and pleased to see them honor Big George. Olympic cycling up next! |

I think I enjoyed the last 3 weeks as much if not more than any other TDF but that's probably because of the British first and second places!
I knew these guys were Iron men and warmed up before a race but cycling it (or most of it) the night before and then 'warming' up for 45 minutes before a race is madness!
Excellent TV and many of them will be back for the Olympics this week! |

OK...bring on the Olympics!! :-) |

By the way, not sure why Chris Horner went off with George - anyone know? |

I believe it had been agreed as Horner is another of the old guard who was riding his last tour. |

I didn't realize Horner was retiring this year as well. Is Voigt retiring, or is he going to keep on keeping on? He's amazing!

I hope he stays in for a few more years...at 40, it's great to see him still attack like he does....He cracked me up as the truck driver in the comercial with Bob Roll... |

Voigt will still be racing, he said in an interview as long as they want me I will keep racing. At 41 he still has the passion of a rookie and a reliability that is second to none. |

The Road ID commercials were a blast! Also loved the "I Am Specialized" with the kid "racing" Tom Boonen while Phil and Paul made the call. Could live without the Michelob Ultra commercials, though.
And yes, always a pleasure to watch Jens Voigt race! |
