Stage 11: The fun begins
They're rolling on Stage 11, the first really brutal mountain stage. No withdrawals overnight, and no abandons yet, but the first hour of riding at a 28.5 mph average is eventually going to chew up some riders and spit them out all over the Pyrenees.
By the way, I adore Dave Zabriskie. There are some new short little recordings from him from Stage 9: http://www.davezabriskie.missingsaddle.com
Who else would ride up to Floyd Landis and start singing, "My hips don't lie" or ride up to Oscar Freire and ask him if he knows he shares a name with a Sesame Street character?
