Trudi sent me this photo of wrapping up snacks for the BMC guys for the first mountain stage of the Tour de France tomorrow. Kind of makes you hungry huh?

The BMC mechanics are assembling it right this very moment. Obviously the day went pretty good for Cadel if they are putting this together. He doesn’t seem to have much acceleration on the climbs, but he is very tenacious. As the sport becomes less “supercharged”, it gets way more interesting to follow. Exactly the opposite of what you would think. It seems more human now.

It's pretty special having World's stripes on your Tour de France leader's bike. It isn't often that the winner of the World Road Race is leading the Tour de France. Pretty cool.
