Best Time of the Year
It's warm out. I'm racing well, the team is doing great, and I've got a new scoot.
But most of all I turn on the TV at night and watch the greatest race in the world.
Moan all you want about Versus coverage, or that you don't like Bob Roll, or that it's pro wrestling or whatever. Watching Robbie do his thing in stage one, watching Boonen as happy as he could be at his teammate's victory yesterday (the kid is nothing but class), watching the chess game, pure horsepower, and final moments of today's stage...if you love the bike there's not much better, other than crossing the line yourself with fists raised.
Long live the Tour.
