All Over Bar the Champs Elyses…

The final stage of this year’s Tour de France is tomorrow, the processional 165 km trip into Paris. Lance Armstrong has demonstrated once again his ferocious domination of this event, which is leaving lots of people wondering whether it will ever be interesting again. But time gets us all. He can quit while he’s ahead, or eventually lose. The only thing that can change tomorrow is the sprinters’ green jersey; Robbie McEwen of Australia currently holds it, but expect a huge mad rush at the end as Norwegian Thor Hushovd attempts to grab as many points as he can along the way.

The end of the Tour will alter my morning routine—definitely won’t be so much to look for online, which is just as well.

  1. I have just been listening to Lance Armstrong’s story – what an amazing person he is.

  2. My husband,sensing I might sufferTour withdrawal, went out and unprompted purchased two books about the Tour to tide me over until next year. It’s great reading Bob Roll’s book and hearing him speak the words in my inner ear.
