Tour Update

That Thomas Voeckler has not seen his hold on the yellow jersey in the least threatened through about 5 hors categorie climbs in the Pyrenees should give readers an indication exactly what a shame it is that Bradley Wiggins* abandoned with a broken collarbone in the first week of the Tour de France. As to why Andy Schleck has not shown up with a team capable of marking the difference in the mountains is beyond us, by the way. Really bad race all 'round.

*For the writer, the sport which occupies the apex of the primate athletic pyramid is bicycle racing - on the track. That a guy could make the transition from the boards to being a contender in the TdF had us tickled pink.
