I'm becoming a Brad Wiggins fan, even if he buzzed off his cool Quadraphenia haircut.

Garmin, VDV
But honestly, it's hard not to like most of 'em. Thor earned many points in my subjective book today, as did the Schlecks. Hard not to like a guy when you see him react the way Andy did for his brother. I've never seen someone throw their hands up in third place before!

I like the schleks quite a bit, both good riders and cool to see brothers like that on a team. As a mriners fan it some how reminds of when Griffey sr. and jr. played together. Something about a family effort that I find enthralling.
Besides that wiggins is pretty great-I'd love to see a Brit on the podium again. Jens is a classic, and levi is a favorite of mine- that crash was a real bummer for the tour to me this year.

He isn't the best tool in the shed, but he gives you everything he's got, and he goes for it. He's often in breaks, or trying to get in one. He finally got a stage win this year to go with his yellow jerseys he held for a while 4 years ago.

Jens hands down.
Also Heinrich Haussler, Cancellara.
I am hoping that we will hear more of Brice Feliu
How could I forget DZ... the little mini interviews he used to do (still does?) are hilarious.
