almost over, thanks be to god....

ok, so this year's disastrous tour dr france is nearly over....with the time trial today and the race into paris tomorrow......i must admit that it is like a car pileup...one cannot help but to gawk despite the knowledge that to watch is wrong.......there are two discovery riders who could be on the podium, something that hasn't happened before...to my knowledge....and one of them is an american......who will hopefully not turn out to have anything positive turn up later.......
