Le Tour Update

*** Sam the reason London was attacked was because of their involvement with the U.S. in Afgahnistan and Iraq. Other European countries like Denmark suffer the same fate.

Well, I just finished watching stage 6 of the Tour and it was SOOOO sad! They barely mentioned either Ullrich or Zabriskie, and neither are doing very well! However, I'm more recently starting to like some guy who's got the green jersey! His name I can't remember but it starts with a V. But anywhoo! Today was a KILLER like 199 kilometers! that's 124 miles!!!! GOSH! For the most part everyone rides together until the end where the sprinters DECK IT OUT! Well, the group that rides together is called the Penelton or somethin like that. Every once and awhile a group will 'breakaway' from the Penelton and ride ahead to try and cross the finish line first. Well, like 24 kilometers into this thing 5 guys breakaway. They're all on different teams too. Well, conditions got REALLY hard and they were forced to work together because it's some STRONG winds and its raining really hard and so yeah! What the Penelton does is lets them go. They obviously catch up to them in the end so that they don't beat everyone but yanno. So the guys are riding and riding and they're REALLY close to being caught by the Penelton. They're going up a MASSIVE hill and this is close to the end! All of the sudden three out of the guys in the Breakaway speed up!!! And then one of the three speeds up even MORE! The two really slow ones just can't keep going, and the other two are going sorta at the same speed as before and this other guy in a white jersey speeds up A TON! He was BOOKIN'! So eventually the Penelton catches the two slow ones. Then they're really closing in on the finish and they get the other two. This ONE GUY is left all by himself! Struggling through all this CRAPINESS! When they're in a big group they take turns breaking the wind for one another. This guy had to do it all by himself. He was MOVIN'! When all the other guys are COASTING downhill he's PEDALING! HE REALLY WANTS TO WIN! So he's getting SUPER close and he's SO close to getting overrun by the Penelton! It's still raining like the dickens but they're getting in town. Which is a good sign. But then these barriers block off the roads so that the cyclists can get through. But, it gets REALLY narrow and at those speeds its not too easy to turn! So the guy is REALLY working and getting tired and they Penelton is almost caught up to him. He is litterly HALF A MILE (!) away fromt he finish line and the LAST turn and the paint on the road gets REALLY slippery he overshoots it and slips and slides like ten feet!!! The two guys that were RIGHT behind him make it through. One put his foot down to steady himself and they keep going. Then all the other guys in the Penelton ride by and they all slide too!!! Then they guys who are smart enough not to take the turn that fast crash into the guys on the ground!!! It was UNBELIEVEABLE! 25-30 guys were down!!!!! IT WAS NUTSO! I was SOOOOOOO surprised! All these sprinters who were saving their energy and were supposed to do well fell! It was SAD! The guy had worked ALL THAT WAY TO FALL .5 OF A MILE AWAY FROM THE FINISH LINE! For those who know where I live that's like from my house to 32nd! Not fair! GRRR! Sorry that was prolly REALLY confusing!
i'm tired
