Usual three suspects,

Cav

Greipel

Goss

Watch Vino go for a breakaway.

Here's a question girls. What do you think would happen on what is traditionally a ceremonial last stage if one day there was only, say, 1 second between first & second place?

Tour is over ... if I thought I was glum before, now I'm plummetting!

Ah.

Time to go to bed, prep for tomorrow's coaching, (oh ... shower), this week gear up for the Olympics.

Still trying to figure out how to watch the Olympics here in Indonesia. The national channel is showing brief clips of events that Indonesians are in and that's all.

I think NBC is going offer some coverage online: http://www.nbcolympics.com

Based on previous stages I've seen:

If you're Vino, yell "Attack!" and go for it.

If you're Nibali, shake Wiggins' hand and return to the peloton. (On one hand, I understand why he did this. But he gave up on the chance to move up in the standings when he did it. I wonder if he's going to regret this someday.)

If you're a sprinter, you'd go for the win.

Has this situation ever occurred? If so, what happened?

To U.S. cable subscribers ... everything live online. Outside the U.S. : selected clips of selected events, not live. Better than what we've got ... still determined to find a way to at least watch major events live, if not minor ones too!

I'm bummed that the tour is over. At least the Olympics are starting soon. Of course, on the plus side, it means I won't have to watch those cringe-worthy roadId commercials or hear that damn Michelob Light jingle again for a while.

One thing tha struck me about this years race: Thomas Voelkler lost the yellow jersey on the last day in the mountains last year, didn't he? I guess he spent the winter ridi hills.
