Best part of the Tour de France so far.

if wrecks in the TDF are your thing, the second wreck in Stage One was way more impressive than the first one that everyone is talking about, about 5k from the finish.

Also, these crashes are definitely going to ratchet up the excitement in what is typically a boring first week as contenders that were caught up in the crashes and lost time desperately try to get back to the top of the General Classification. Setting up to be a pretty exciting and unpredictable tour.

Is that card board available for every day road usage? I'd like to keep it in my car for when I need it.

I wonder if soccer fans, when they want to question the masculinity of a person, hurl the insult that he is probably a biking fan in the same way other fanbases do towards soccer

if a piece of cardboard can wipe out the entire field of a sporting event, i'm not going to blame the cardboard.

Biking is one of the most manly sports there is. Any of you who don't think so are welcome to attempt a century with mofo, Jet, and me.

Cooler than any bat flip:



If you play your cards right maybe mofo will let you be his domestique.

People that don't follow cycling do not understand how grueling of a sport it is. Now add in crashes, road rash, and the broken bones. I understand it doesn't have the excitement of other sports but the mountain stages are pretty entertaining.

I heard yesterday that Marc Soler, a rider caught up in the early crash Saturday, rode it in 45 km with 2 broken elbows. He wasn't the only one who got back up and gutted their way in. These guys work their whole lives to get to this race, and they will go to amazing lengths to continue racing. it is amazing what their pain tolerances are and to what extremes they will go to finish a stage.

funny thing is I dont even seriously ride, just the occasional recreational ride out on the bike path. I do love the sport of cycling though, I really admire the stamina and guts it takes to ride these 3-week grand tours.

Slow your roll.

i understand not enjoying the sport for a variety of reasons, but it being "not manly" is utterly ridiculous. Those guys are bad-asses.

Endurance is manly. What else?
