    Thomas needs to stop complaining and train harder.

    Oh yeah, there is a race going on!

    I liked Vandevelde's report:

    http://www.velonews.com/diaries/rider/articles/8886.0.html

    "Most people bonked today because they were either too scared to take
    their hands off the bars when the were going slow enough to do so -
    which was not often - or breathing too hard to even think of ingesting
    something. Needless to say, it will be another crazy day today."

    Spain but here can't be stopped."

    For local consumption only, apparently. Coincidence that all the US boys
    make their homes in sunny Spain?

    Cool stuff: "When you have managed to survive a three-week Tour, you feel
    like a winner at the end, because you've managed to overcome yourself."

    It would be a tiresome cliche if it weren't for the word 'like'.

    I've been using those posters as reverse motivational tools for my
    software engineering class this semester. Since we don't have an irony
    grokking problem, it seems to be working quite well. (The idea is that
    since the motivational ones don't work per se, the worst that these can
    do is do no harm...)
