| Just before the end of yesterdays stage the race officials sent out notice to the riders to take it easy because the asphalt on the downhill side of the mountain was starting to melt in the heat. In areas the pavement looked wet with melted tar.
I usually only have a chance to watch the last several miles of each stage when I run home at lunch. It works out pretty well, it's an exciting part of the race and they show highlights of the part I missed.
I still think it's funny (and frustrating) that ESPN carries poker, but not cycling. Which one is actually a sport? Ah well, everyone knows it so much more thrilling to watch other guys play a game of cards, lol. |
