The "boy" is doing great !, despair on Contador's face yesterday as Chris crossed the finishing line in the time trial (I think he thought he had it !), a great psychological blow and terrific 3rd stage win for the Maillot Jaune !!   :)

My daughter and her husband plus other family members were in France at the weekend to watch Sunday's stage of Le Tour.  Said it was 'awesome' (her words).

However, I shall satisfy myself with waiting until next year when it comes through my village and about half a mile from my front door on it's way up to Holme Moss!    :)

Could be saying "the girl is doing great " next year.

"For 100 years the Tour de France has been the pinnacle endurance sports event of the world, watched by and inspiring millions of people. For 100 years, it has also been a male-only race.
Now four female cycling champions want to change that.
World Champion and Olympic medalist Emma Pooley, World Ironman Triathlon Champion Chrissie Wellington along with champion cyclists Kathryn Bertine and Marianne Vos have launched a petition on Change.org calling on the organisers of the Tour de France to add a women's race to the event in 2014.
In just a few days, more than 15,000 people have signed their appeal."
