Tour Thoughts:

Whoo boy!!! Discovery was crazy with the attacks today. One after another until the entire peloton was left gasping. What? They didn't attack? Johan said they would. Somebody, even if it is not Discovery, better try something tomorrow or I will be pissed.

Iban Mayo is so f'ing exasperating. I like guy for some dumb reason but can there be a more potentially up or down rider than Mayo? The cynic would say he didn't get his drugs today but he's been like this for year's except for '03 when he was pretty consistent. How can a guy who, on a good day, is one of the finest climbers around get dropped on the the first real mountain of the day and lose 24 minutes. I can't explain getting dropped in the first place but once he does lose contact it seems he has no heart and gives up. And the worst part is I was dumb enough to pick him as one of my climbers on the fantasy team based on what he did in the Dauphine. He's going to be a complete non-factor for the rest of the Tour.
