Well the theme of this year's Tour so far is WINDY. Boy, it's amazing to see what a strong wind can do, even to a group of the best cyclists in the world.
Happy for Voeckler - you can't help but cheer when one of those guys in a break actually makes it and ends up winning the stage - but I can't deny that I was looking forward to a good Cavo vs. Boonen vs. Thor showdown today. Ah well.
Jessica, yes I did change the layout of the blog a bit. I took away the links to my work because many of them are over on the Velo Communications site and I just thought they were cluttering up the place a bit. I'm sorry.
Rae, I'm pretty sure it's LIPEheimer because when Levi and Lance were doing their regular videos together during the Giro, Lance kept getting it wrong and Levi would correct him pronouncing it LIPEheimer. I'm assuming he knows how to pronounce his own name if no one else does.
And welcome back Matt. We've been buzzing over here again and we've missed you.
Don't forget to check out my friend Bruce's blog straight from the Tour. He really talks racing and posts great pictures. Check through today's piece and see how skinny Thor looks!

Also noticed that MD finally put up a little post on his site after a few people wondered if he'd dropped off the planet--so he will be there starting next week!
"Hey All --
I'm revamping the site and taking care of some urgent personal matters. I will be at the Tour starting next week. Sorry for the silence, and it's great to know how much you all care!
Best,
Marty Dugard"

Thanks Cathy, and how many of those concerned emails do you think were from our own susieb? (or perchance the absent camille)
