My newest obsession is the Tour de France. I have never really watched cycle racing before but I must confess it is fascinating. Possibly one of the strangest sports ever with its combination of team work and individual glory, the way riders from competing teams work together and a strange sense of honour coupled with a massive reputation for harbouring serious drug cheats.
Of course I am now going to pontificate on a sport I know very little about. I think Cadel needed to lose the maillot jaune since his team appears not to have the requisite depth for success in the big mountain stages. At least not depth like team CSC who were incredible in stage 15.
I wonder what'll happen tonight...
