Aussie Aussie Aussie! Oui Oui Oui!

I can't believe this! Not only is Brad McGee still in the yellow, but his team-mate and fellow Aussie, Baden Cooke, has won the most recent stage! He also has the best young rider (white) jersey, this being only his second Tour. I remember last year Eric Zabel, veteran German sprinter, mentioning Baden was someone to look out for, and now he's proving it. This is so cool!

Damn, I wish I could download the video at work - I have to wait until they show it on SBS tonight instead.

By the way . . .

I hear they're letting the guy with the broken collarbone ride anyway?

Dad and his cycling friends Bill and Linda were talking about it last night at dinner. I think the guy with the broken collarbone is nuts, but then again, I also think my dad is nuts.

All I know right now is that we've got a stock of Shiner Bock in the basement, because, as Dad and Ben (my friend Jebus's dad) say, "It's Lance's beer!"

*nods* That would be Tyler Hamilton. And yes, he's still racing - 8th overall, yesterday, but probably not now. And there was another rider in a neck brace, from the same crash.

Yep, pro cyclists not only bounce, but they're all insane as well. ;)
