Howdy Everyone. Toby here. I was kind of taken aback when Dan asked me to be contributor, but we will give it a go during this TdF and I hope I can write something that is good enough for everyone to at least find interesting. I am in Nice now with the band Muse, and thee are Tour de France posters and flags everywhere, as of course the CLM (Contre le Montre/Time Trial) Par Equipes (for teams) is here in Nice and I was able to cycle the course this morning Beautiful new asphalt. I love the Team Time Trial, and they have made it short enough this year so as not to have huge time differentials from the teams that will race well and ones that will not. Many a time there have also been wheels touching and the race can change for some teams and riders rather quickly.
Nice pictures Dan put on the blog site.......here is an easy trivia question I hope: Who was the last rider to step onto the top of the podium while also being the Road World Champion? ( hint: he traded the rainbow jersey for the Maillot Jaune on the last day of the tour). Answer next time I have something worth writing about.
