Tour De France 2009

Anybody else watching the Tour De France? It's great. Technology makes it so easy to stay on top of the latest action as it's happening. ITV have a great Twitter feed @itvtdf. The official TDF web site at http://www.letour.fr is also great providing up to the minute updates during the stages. I just read Lance Armstrongs 2 autobiographies which has given me a real interest in the Tour. It's great that this year he has made a return to the sport having retired in 2005 after his 7th straight TdF victory. He's looking fantastic in any terms but considering he's 37 now (38 this year) and has been out of professional cycling for 3.5 years it's all the more remarkable. He's riding for team Astana and in fierce competition with his own Astana team mates for the title. The big question is will Lance win? or Alberto Contador? or Levi Leipheimer? or will someone from outside team Astana win? Bradley Wiggins is looking fantastic for Garmin Slipstream. He's in 5th place after Stage 8 and looks like he can handle the mountains. I'm looking forward to the next 2 weeks to see how it all plays out.
