WHA? It's only slightly longer than most of your race reports.

Although not nearly as exciting.

PH - Could you explain why, once a stage is completed, they post most of the times of the cyclists as "same time" ? I thought the infield fly rule was tough!

They just give the peleton (big pack of riders) the same time because it's just easier that way. 
I've never watched a single stage of the TdF.

Warning: I shall have another race report after this evening's 5K. I work hard, and like to document my effort. Helps me remember what happened, and a lot of people like them. Interesting how those who find them long and tedious still read them. You don't like them, skip over them. I couldn't care less.

Don't feel bad. The young lady at my favorite bagel shop asked me about my yellow braclet. "It's a LiveStrong bracelet" I said. "You know, Lance Armstrong. He's got a foundation and they're selling them at a dollar apiece..."
Blank look...
"Armstrong? you mean like the astronaut?"
"No..." I said. "But that's his dad..."
"Really?"
