To me, there is only one Tour. I haven't watched it since Lance left, but watching it now reminds me of why there is just one.
It's not "a" tour; it's THE Tour. Le Tour de France. To me, it's not "a" race; it's The Race. Amazing, phenomenal athletes and strategies. Also, I get caught up on the technologies involved: from bike making to computers to gear. Some incredible stuff.
It's exciting to me to be watching/tracking Le Tour this year. More exciting that it started on the 4th, our Independence Day. More exciting Lance is back. I've done some research to learn what's happened since '05. In doing so, I recalled the Landis deal. I've learned about some other riders, too. Just remarkable stuff, really.
So, I'm going to eat a bit of breakfast and go for a ride. Here's to my buddy, Blake-may your future be bright and "yellow." :)
