I want to cry….
USA’s only real Tour contender is basically done…forever. No Americans waiting in the wings. Media coverage drops off, Discovery Channel’s contract comes due, a bunch of junky no-namers left, cycling in the US once again becomes a fringe sport.
Cadel can smoke everyone in the TT (besides Kloden) so there is still a chance for him and I have someone to cheer for. A great Tour that must be clean (seems like everyone in the Top 10 got dropped at some point) but ultimately it won’t have the result that I had hoped. CVV can’t even go for a stage win anymore either.
Only one person can save it but he is retired. Needless to say this morning I am depressed. Add this to the mix and road biking totally sucks!

I was just logging on to ask whether you were planning to retract this post - but you already have!

Basically done! Thursdays stage defied all logic, seriously. I have no idea what and how it happened. Perfect tactics by Floyd with a motor to back it up!

Oh, and note all comments making fun of my post were posted after Thursday's stage and not before it. If my boy Robbie says he is done then I had no reason to believe he wasn't...
