Whoaaaaaaaaaa, Thor! Ride 'em Norski cowboy! Yæï -Håø, Yïppië-kây-yåï-yö!
Most fun stage so far this year. What would you call what he just did there? Cuz it sure wasn't cycling. More like ...er, Saddle Schüssing?
Whatever, it looks like TdF needs a new jersey competition for King of the Slalom. Who knew that boy was such a hotdogger?
And perfect timing for a daredevil stage win like this, too, since he's in negotiations this very weekend for a team to call home next year. Give that man a raise, Garmin!
Wasn’t that awesome. I feel bad for Roy, he gave it everything he had but the God of Thunder was not to be denied. You could see the disappointment on Roy’s face as he crossed the line. He was crying. The French wanted a stage, but they haven’t had it yet this year. Still, their man is in the yellow, and the race gets even more brutal for the next week or so.
I am so humbled by what I saw today. Pain is temporary, glory is forever.
Never argue with the God of Thunder. Roy was not “caught”, he was caught by a lightening bolt.
BTW.
Anyone here do a Watts test? I can “apparently” outsprint Hushovd for like 10 seconds:P
