Certainly the most demanding professional sport. These guys train like 400 miles a week. Heck, I don't like driving 200 miles a week!

Yesterday's stage was amazing, wet narrow roads lined with people plus the cobbles. I know there were a lot of crashes, but i really enjoyed watching this stage. I just couldn't get over how bad the conditions were and these guys were flying. Wow, what a stage!

Great ride by Tony martin yesterday to get the stage win and Tony Gallopin to get the yellow jersey from Nibali. Good to see a Frenchman with the yellow jersey on Bastille Day. The first mountain stage is today and it should be interesting to see what the GC contendors will do.
